NEET Physics Distance & Displacement MCQ Question
Consider a velocity-time graph of an object moving with uniform acceleration. If the graph is a straight line passing through the origin, which area under this graph represents the displacement of the object between time t1 and time t2?

Area of the trapezium formed under the line between t1 and t2
Area of the triangle formed under the line between t1 and t2
Area of the rectangle formed under the line between t1 and t2
The length of the line segment on the graph between t1 and t2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The displacement is given by the area under the velocity-time graph. For uniform acceleration, this area is a trapezium between t1 and t2.
