The adjacent diagram shows the velocity time graph of a body. During what time interval is the motion of the body accelerated. Find the acceleration in the time interval mentioned in part 'a'. What is the distance travelled by the body in the time interval mentioned in part a?
Answer :
The body is accelerated between 0 to 4 unit and 8 to 10 unit. Since velocity is changing as time changes
Acceleration is constant in part ‘a’
Acceleration = 
= 
In part ‘a’ final velocity= 30
Initial velocity =0
Time interval is 4s
Acceleration = 
ms-2
=7.5 ms-2
Distance travelled is the area covered by the velocity time graph
So, In part ‘a’ area covered = 1/2 
4
= 60 (m)

A boy moves along the path ABCD. What is the total distance Covered by the boy? What is his net displacement?
Distinguish distance and displacement?
Tamilnadu Board ScienceAssertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
Tamilnadu Board ScienceDistance covered by a particle never becomes zero between any interval of time but displacement becomes zero.
Tamilnadu Board ScienceConsider an object is rest at position x = 20m. Then its displacement – time graph will be straight line to _____________ the axis.
Tamilnadu Board ScienceThe slope of the distance – time graph at any point gives __________
