Chapter 2 - Motion Along a Straight Line - Problems - Exercises - Page 62: 2.61

Answer

a) Distance = 92m b) Displacement also 92m, as motion is in straight line displacement = distance

Work Step by Step

a) Total distance moved by the gazelle = area under velocity-time graph = area of trapezium + area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}(4+12)*10 + \frac{1}{2}.12.2 = 92m$ b) Displacement of the gazelle is same as distance, since the motion is in a straight line. Which is 92m
