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): Displacement is always the same as the total distance traveled.
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 area under the velocity-time curve represents displacement, but displacement is not always the same as the total distance traveled, especially when direction changes.
