The area under the velocity-time graph for a particle moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration gives
General KnowledgePhysics
- Aits average velocity
- Bits net displacement
- Cthe distance travelled by it
- Dits average speed
Explanation
For motion in a straight line, the area under the velocity-time graph equals the integral of velocity over time, which is the net displacement of the particle. Average velocity would be displacement divided by time, and total distance requires care with sign changes, but the area itself directly gives net displacement.
