Question

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

100 m

Displacement is area under velocity-time graph :

$TotalDistance=(0.5\times 2\times 8)$
$+(8\times 8)$
$+(0.5\times 4\times 2)$
$+(4\times 2)$
$+(4\times 4)$

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