Motion In One Dimension Question 1
Question 1 - 24 January - Shift 2
The velocity time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in figure.
The ratio of displacement to distance travelled by the body in time 0 to 10 s is
(1) $1: 1$
(2) $1: 4$
(3) $1: 2$
(4) $1: 3$
Show Answer
Answer: (4)
Solution:
Formula: Average Velocity
Displacement $=\Sigma$ area $=16-8+16-8=16 m$
Distance $=\Sigma \mid$ area $\mid=48 m$
$\frac{\text{ displacement }}{\text{ Distance }}=\frac{1}{3}$
