MCQ
Area under a speed $-$ time graph gives:
  • A
    The time taken by a moving object.
  • The distance travelled by a moving object.
  • C
    The acceleration of a moving object.
  • D
    The retardation of a moving object.

Answer

Correct option: B.
The distance travelled by a moving object.
The area under the velocity $-$ time graph gives the distance traveled by a moving object during that time interval.
While the area under the velocity$-$time graph gives displacement of the particle.

One ice skater of mass $m$ moves with speed $2v$ to the right, while another of the same mass $m$ moves with speed $v$ toward the left, as shown in figure $I$. Their paths are separated by $a$ distance $b$. At $t = 0$, when they are both at $x = 0$, they grasp a pole of length $b$ and negligible mass. For $t > 0$, consider the system as a rigid body of two masses $m$ separated by distance $b$, as shown in figure $II$. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after $t = 0$ of the skater initially at $y = b/2?$
