Question

The velocity-time graph given shows the motion of a cyclist. Find the distance covered by the cyclist in $15$ seconds.

• A. $200m$
• B. $500m$
• C. $400m$
• D. $300m$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $300m$

We know that area under the v-t graph will give the displacement.
As velocity is uniform, distance=displacement
The distance covered by the cyclist in $15$ seconds $=$ Area under the graph
$=20\times 15=300m$
