Question

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?
AB and BC
AB and EF
BC and DE
CD and DF

Answer 1

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, $d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m$

Area under BC, $d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under CD, $d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m$

Area under DE, $d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m$

Area under EF, $d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m$

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".

Answer 2

Correct Answer:

AB & DE

Explanation:

I had just taken this test on Plato/Edmentum (physical science) and gotten the question correct
