The velocity time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in the figure. The displacement and distance travelled by body in 6 sec are respectively
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Area of rectangle ABCO = 4 × × 2 = 8 m
Area of rectangle CDEF = 2 × (– 2) = – 4 m
Area of rectangle FGHI = 2×2 = 4 m
Displacement = sum of area with their sign = 8 + (– 4) + 4
= 8 m
Distance = sum of area with out sign = 8 + 4 + 4 = 16 m
