Question

The speed versus time graph for a particle is shown in the figure. The distance travelled (in m) by the particle during the time interval t = 0 to t = 5 s will be ______.

Options

• 20

• 30

• 40

• 50

Answer 1

The speed versus time graph for a particle is shown in the figure. The distance travelled (in m) by the particle during the time interval t = 0 to t = 5 s will be 20.

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area of speed-time graph

= `1/2xx5xx8`

= 20 m
