On a velocity-time graph, the area under the curve represents:

1. On a velocity-time graph, velocity is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis. 2. The area of a small strip equals velocity times a small time interval. 3. By definition, velocity multiplied by time gives displacement. 4. Summing all strips gives the total displacement over the chosen interval. 5. So the area under a velocity-time graph represents displacement. _Source: Selina Concise Physics ICSE Class 9, Ch 2 'Motion in One Dimension' (aplustopper.com extract)_
