NEET Physics Distance & Displacement MCQ Question
Consider a velocity-time graph of an object moving with uniform acceleration, where the line starts at point O and ends at point B. The area under this graph between instants 0 and t is divided into two regions: a rectangle and a triangle. What does the area of the triangle represent?
The change in displacement during time t
The total displacement during time t
The initial velocity of the object
The average velocity during time t
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the area under the graph represents displacement. The area of the triangle represents the change in displacement due to acceleration.
