Kinematic Graphs and Displacement


Assertion (A): In one dimensional motion, area under velocity-time graph gives change in position i.e., displacement.
Reason (R): In one dimensional motion, area under acceleration-time graph gives final velocity.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Area under v-t graph = displacement; Area under a-t graph = change in velocity.
Solution: (A) is true as area under v-t graph is displacement. (R) is false as area under a-t graph gives change in velocity, not final velocity. So, (A) is true and (R) is false.
