JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 2. motion in straight line
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

- A \(1: 1\)
- B \(1: 4\)
- C \(1: 2\)
- D \(1: 3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(1: 3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(Displacement=\Sigma \text { area }=16-8+16-8=16\,m\) \(Distanc =\Sigma \mid \text { area } \mid=48\,m\) \(\frac{\text { displacement }}{\text { Distance }}=\frac{1}{3}\)
