Question

From the given velocity-time graph, the ratio of distance travelled to displacement in 25 s is: Image

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Displacement is the algebraic area under the v-t graph: 25 + 50 + 75 + 50 − 50 = 150 m. Distance is the sum of absolute areas: 25 + 50 + 75 + 50 + 50 = 250 m. Distance/displacement = 250/150 = 5/3.
