JEE Main 5 April 2026, Shift 2, Physics Q29

Question 29 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 4 of 25, Section A.

The velocity (vv) versus time (tt) plot of a particle is shown in the figure, for a time interval of 40 s. The total distance travelled by the particle and the average velocity during this period are, respectively __________.

The figure, in words

v (m/s) vs t (s) graph: v rises linearly from 0 to +5 m/s (dashed guide at the peak, at t = 10 s), falls to 0 at t = 20 s, continues to -5 m/s (dashed guide at the trough, at t = 30 s), then returns to 0 at t = 40 s. Axis marks +5, -5, 20, 40.
