Question

Considering the motion of the object whose velocity-time graph is given in the diagram, calculate the total displacement till 16 seconds?

• A. 100m
• B. 120 m
• C. 80 m
• D. 90 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A

100m

Displacement is area under velocity-time graph:

Total Displacement = $(0.5\times 2\times 8)+$
$(8\times 8)+(0.5\times 4\times 2)+$
$(4\times 2)+(4\times 4)$

= 8 + 64 + 4 + 8 + 16
= 100m
