Displacement can be obtained from:
A)The slope of an acceleration-time graph
B)the slope of a velocity-time graph
C)the area under an acceleration-time graph
D)the area under a velocity-time graph
E)the slope of an acceleration-time graph

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area under a velocity-time graph represents displacement. This is because velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time, and therefore the area under the velocity-time graph represents the amount of displacement over a given time interval. The other options do not directly give information about displacement. While acceleration is related to changes in velocity which in turn affect displacement, neither the slope nor the area under an acceleration-time graph gives direct information about displacement.
