उत्तर
Displacement from velocity – time graph: Displacement covered by a body is equal to the area under velocity – time graph. When an object moves with a uniform velocity, the velocity – time graph is a straight line (PQ) parallel to the time axis.
Take any two points A and B on velocity – time graph.
From A and B, draw two perpendiculars AD and BC on the time axis such that
OD = t1 and OC = t2
Let OP = AD = BC = v = Velocity of the body.
Area under velocity – time graph = Area of rectangle ABCD
= AD × DC = v × (OC − OD) = v (t2 − t1)
= Displacement covered by the body

Distance and displacement
Figure shows the velocity-time graph of a particle moving in a straight line.
(i) State the nature of motion of particle.
(ii) Find the displacement of particle at t = 6 s.
(iii) Does the particle change its direction of motion?
(iv) Compare the distance travelled by the particle from 0 to 4 s and from 4 s to 6 s.
(v) Find the acceleration from 0 to 4 s and retardation from 4 s to 6 s.
When brakes are applied to a bus, retardation produced is 25 cm s-2 and the bus takes 20 s to stop. Calculate -
- The initial velocity of the bus
- The distance travelled by bus during this time.
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?
The graph shows how the velocity of a scooter varies with time in 50 s.
Work out: The distance traveled in 10 s, 20 s, and 50 s.
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |

A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r. The displacement after half a circle would be
Is displacement a scalar quantity?
Displacement can be zero but distance never.
