The velocity-time graph of a particle in straight line motion is veloity-time graph of a particle in straight line motion is shown in. The particle starts its motion from origin.
.
The distance of the particle from the origin after `8 s` is .

Options

A. `18 m`
B. `16 m`
C. `8 m`
D. `6 m`

Answer

d

Explanation

Distance from the origin will be equal to the final displacement of the particle which is equal to the area of the velcoity-time graph, i.e., ltbrtgt `(1)/(2) xx (4+2) xx 4 -(1)/(2) (4+2) xx 2=6 m`.
