Question
The velocity-time graph of a moving body is given below in Figure
Displacement in each part AB, BC and CD.
Advertisements
Solution
Displacement of part AB = Area of ΔAB4 = (1/2) (4) (30)
= 60 m
Displacement of part BC = Area of rectangle 4BC8
= (30) × (4) = 120 m
Displacement of part CD = Area of ΔC8D = (1/2) (2) (30)
= 30 m
