An object's velocity-time graph is a straight HORIZONTAL line at v = 5 m/s for 10 seconds. The distance travelled is:
A10 m
B5 m
C50 m
DZero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 50 m
Horizontal v-t line at 5 m/s means constant velocity, zero acceleration. Distance = velocity × time = 5 × 10 = 50 m. (Geometrically: area under the v-t line = 5 × 10 = 50 m².)
