Q. The velocity time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in figure.
image The ratio of displacement to distance travelled by the body in time $0$ to $10\, s$ is

JEE MainJEE Main 2023Motion in a Straight Line

Solution:

Displacement $=\Sigma$ area $=16-8+16-8=16\, m$
Distance $=\Sigma \mid$ area $\mid=48\, m$
$\frac{\text { displacement }}{\text { Distance }}=\frac{1}{3}$
