Physics-Distance & Displacement
NEET Physics Distance & Displacement Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
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.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option C
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.
