Question

iv) What quantity do we obtain if we calculate area under the given graph?
(A)displacement
(B) velocity
(C) acceleration
(D) None of the above​

Answer 1

We can obtain displacement if we calculate the area of the given graph.

• The given graph is the graph of velocity and time.
• If we calculate the area of the given velocity-time graph then we will get the value of the displacement of the body.
• On the other hand, the slope of the given velocity-time graph will be representing the acceleration of that body.
• In this way, velocity-time graph helps us to calculate the values of displacement and acceleration.
