A velocity - time graph of a body is shown below. The distance covered by the body from 6 second to 9 second is
Options
- A22.5 m
- B60.0 m
- C65.0 m
- D120.0 m
Correct answer
C. 65.0 m
Step-by-step solution
Given Graph: The graph consists of straight lines, and the distance is the area under the velocitytime curve. Split the graph from t=6 to t=9 : - t=6 to t=8 : Rectangle with base 2 s and height 30 ~m / s , Area = Base Height =2 30=60 ~m - t=8 to t=9 : Triangle with base 1 s and height 10 ~m / s , Area = 1 2 Base Height = 1 2 1 10=5 ~m Total Distance: Total Distance =60+5=65 ~m Answer: 65 m, closest to Option 3: 82.5 m (if rounded incorrectly in solution).
