The area under the velocity time graph of an object is equal to the distance travelled by that object in that time. This is because displacement is the integral of velocity with respect to time so integrating velocity from time A to time B will give the displacement from time A to time B. ( Integrating is the same as calculating the area under the graph)

How to find the area under a graph?

To find the area under a graph, you can use calculus by integrating the function that represents the graph. This involves finding the definite integral of the function over the desired interval. The result of the integration will give you the area under the graph.

Name the two physical quantities which can be obtained from the velocity-time graph?

well, the area under the curve between a time interval is equal to the distance traveled on that specific time interval. So one quantity is distance. As for another quantity, the answer would be velocity, but I think they may want a less obvious answer. A quantity out side of velocity could be instantaneous acceleration. This is given by the slope of the the tangent line to the velocity-time graph. Hope this helps you answer your question. Though I think the most simple way to understanding why is to take a course of calculus.

What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?

Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
