Equations of motion — practice question

The velocity-time graph shown below describes a stone projected vertically upwards. Air resistance is negligible. At time zero, the stone is thrown upwards. Area $X$ corresponds to a distance of $5\,\text{m}$. Area $Y$ corresponds to a distance of $3\,\text{m}$. What is the displacement of the stone from its starting position at time $t$?

  • A$2\,\text{m}$
  • B$3\,\text{m}$
  • C$5\,\text{m}$
  • D$8\,\text{m}$
