MCQ
Area under a speed $-$ time graph gives:
  • A
    The time taken by a moving object.
  • The distance travelled by a moving object.
  • C
    The acceleration of a moving object.
  • D
    The retardation of a moving object.

Answer

Correct option: B.
The distance travelled by a moving object.
The area under the velocity $-$ time graph gives the distance traveled by a moving object during that time interval.
While the area under the velocity$-$time graph gives displacement of the particle.

A shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v m/sec$ at an angle $\theta $ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon and the speed in $m/sec $ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

$N\,moles$ of a diatomic gas in a cylinder are at a temperature $T$. Heat is supplied to the cylinder such that the temperature remains constant but $n\,moles$ of the diatomic gas get converted into monoatomic gas. What is the change in the total kinetic energy of the gas ?
A circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. A tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity $\omega_0$. When the tortoise moves along a chord of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform $w (t)$ will vary with time $t$ as
