Question

The speed-time graph of a particle moving along a fixed direction as shown in the figure. The distance traversed by the particle between t = 0 s to t = 10 s is

A. 20 m
B. 40 m
C. 60 m
D. 80 m

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
Distance = Area under speed-time graph over a given time interval
`therefore` Distance traversed by the particle been
t = 0 s to t = 10 s will be
Area of `triangleOAB = 1/2 xx 10 xx 12` = 60 m
