Question

The time elapsed is plotted along X-axis and the acceleration is plotted along the Y-axis. The area between the graph and the X-axis gives:
Options
A Average velocity
B distance covered
C differences in velocities
Correct Answer
D difference in accelerations
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Area under acceleration-time graph gives change in velocity (∫ a dt = Δv).

Hint

a = dv/dt → ∫ a dt = Δv.
