The displacement of a body moving with uniform velocity v for time t is:

Answer: vt.

  • A vt
  • B half of vt
  • C v divided by t
  • D vt²

Correct answer: A. vt

Explanation: For uniform velocity, displacement = velocity × time = vt.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.
