alleryThe area under a velocity time curve between two times equals the displacement during that:
AIncrement of time
BInversion of time
CInterval of time
DInstant of time
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Interval of time
1. The area is bounded by two times on the axis.
2. What it measures spans between them.
3. The area under the velocity-time curve between t1 and t2 equals the displacement during that interval of time.
4. So the answer is the interval of time.
