Graphs of Motion

The velocity $(v)$ versus time $(t)$ plot of a particle is shown in the figure, for a time interval of 40 s. The total distance travelled by the particle and the average velocity during this period are, respectively

______.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

The graph has four triangles, each of base $10\text{ s}$ and height $5\text{ m/s}$ : area $= \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 5 = 25\text{ m}$ each.
Distance = sum of magnitudes $= 4\times 25 = 100\text{ m}$
Displacement = $25 + 25 - 25 - 25 = 0$ , so average velocity $= 0$
So the answer is (c) 100 m and zero.
