Question
The displacement of an object during a specific time interval can be determined from its velocity-time graph by calculating the
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The area under a velocity-time graph, between the curve and the time axis, represents the integral of velocity with respect to time (∫ v dt). Since velocity is the rate of change of displacement, this integral equals the displacement of the object over that time interval.
Hint
Consider that velocity × time gives a quantity with units of distance. On a graph, 'product' is represented by 'area'.
