The variation of velocity of a particle with time moving along a straight line is illustrated in the following figure. The distance travelled by the particle in four seconds is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Distance = Area under v – t graph A_1 + A_2 + A_3 + A_4
\(-\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 20 + (20 \times 1) + \frac{1}{2} (20 + 10) \times 1 + (10 \times 1)\)
\(10 + 20 + 15 + 10 \quad 55 \, m\)
