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.
