NEET Physics Distance & Displacement Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The displacement of an object under uniform acceleration can be calculated using the area under the velocity-time curve.
Reason (R): The area under a velocity-time graph represents the distance covered by the object.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as the displacement is determined by the area under the velocity-time curve. However, the reason is false because the area represents displacement, not distance, which can differ if the motion involves direction changes.
