Question

The area below velocity – time graph gives:

• A. acceleration
• B. average speed
• C. average velocity
• D. displacement

Answer 1

The correct option is D displacement

The area under a velocity-time graph gives the displacement of the object.
The area under the curve is velocity x time = displacement.

$\because Velocity=\frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}$

In the graph, the area under the curve is $displacement$ = Area of triangle ADE + Area of rectangle ADBC
