Question

The variation of velocity of a particle moving along a straight line is as shown in the figure given below.The distance travelled by the particle in 5 s is (a) 60m (b)30m (c) 40 m (d) 50 m​

Answer 1

We know,

Distance travelled by an object is given by the area covered in a velocity time graph.

Here,

Distance covered = Area of trapezium OABC

=> 1/2×(sum of parallel side)×height

=>1/2×(1+5)×20

=>6×10

=>60

So, the correct option is a)60m

Distance travelled by the object in 5seconds = 60m
