- MCQ
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

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(1: 3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(Displacement=\Sigma \text { area }=16-8+16-8=16\,m\)
\(Distanc =\Sigma \mid \text { area } \mid=48\,m\)
\(\frac{\text { displacement }}{\text { Distance }}=\frac{1}{3}\)
