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

The velocity (\(v\)) versus time (\(t\)) plot of a particle is shown in the figure, for a time interval of \(40\text{ s}\). The total distance travelled by the particle and the average velocity during this period are, respectively _______.

  1. A \(25\text{ m}\) and zero
  2. B \(50\text{ m}\) and zero
  3. C \(100\text{ m}\) and zero
  4. D \(100\text{ m}\) and \(2.5\text{ m/s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(100\text{ m}\) and zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total distance travelled by the particle is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the areas under the velocity-time graph. Area of the first triangle (from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 20\text{ s}\)) is: \(A_1 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5 = 50\text{ m}\) Magnitude of the area of…
