The velocity-time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in figure.
The ratio of displacement and distance travelled by the body in time to is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Area of upper rectangles, which will give us magnitude of the area under the velocity-time graph,
Area of lower rectangles, which will give us magnitude of the area under the velocity-time graph,
Therefore,
Displacement = {A}_{1} - {A}_{2} = 32 - 16 = 16
Hence, the required ratio would be
