Question

A particle moves along a straight line with a velocity time relationship as shown in figure. The total distance travelled by the particle is

• A. 20 m
• B. 10 m
• C. 26 m
• D. 23 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 26 m

Total area gives total distance travelled
$\therefore Distance=(\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 8)+(\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 12)=26m$
