The movement of a car on a road is represented in this figure. Between t = 0 and t = 0.6 hrs, what is the displacement made by the car? 1). 4.0 km.
2). 0.0 km.
3). -4.0 km. 4
). 8.0 km.

0

Explanation:

On a graph, if there is plot of time vs velocity, then area of velocity plot gives the displacement.

also we can see area of plot is velocity* time which is equal to formula of displacement.

area for this plot is velocity * time

Thus,

from

t =0 to t = 0.2

v = 20

t = 0.2 - 0 = 0.2

thus, displacement till 0.2 seconds = 20*0.2 = 4 Km

from

t =0 to t = 0.4

v = 0

t = 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.2

thus, displacement from  0.2 seconds to 0.4 seconds = 0*0.2 = 0 Km

from

t =0.4 to t = 0.6

v = -20

t = 0.6 - 0.4 = 0.2

thus, displacement from  0.4 seconds to 0.6 seconds = -20*0.2 = -4 Km

Thus, total displacement = 4+0 -4 = 0

Thus, net displacement made by car is 0.
