Graphs of Motion
Given below are two statements
Statement I: Area under velocity- time graph gives the distance travelled by the body in a given time. Statement II: Area under acceleration- time graph is equal to the change in velocity in the given time.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Statement I: area under - gives displacement, not distance (negative areas cancel). False.
- Statement II: , so area under - is the change in velocity. True.
- So the answer is (c).
