A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h−1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h−1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?


Figure shows the distance-time graph for the motion of two vehicles A and B. Which one of them is moving faster?

Two students were asked to plot a distance-time graph for the motion described by Table A and Table B.

Table A
Distance moved (m) 0 10 20 30 40 50
Time (minutes) 0 2 4 6 8 10
Table B
Distance moved (m) 0 5 10 15 20 25
Time (minutes) 0 1 2 3 4 5


The graph given in figure is true for


Complete the data of the table given below with the help of the distance-time graph given in the figure.

Distance  (m) 0 4 ? 12 ? 20
Time (s) 0 2 4 ? 8 10


Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house is 9 km. Bholu has to attend Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. He started from his home at 6 o’clock on his bicycle and covered a distance of 6 km in 40 minutes. At that point, he met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 minutes and reached Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. With what speed did he cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.


Boojho goes to the football ground to play football. The distance-time graph of his journey from his home to the ground is given in the figure.

  1. What does the graph between points B and C indicate about the motion of Boojho?
  2. Is the motion between 0 to 4 minutes uniform or non-uniform?
  3. What is his speed between 8 and 12 minutes of his journey?

Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.


What do you infer if

  1. Distance – time graph is a straight line.
  2. The velocity-time graph is curved.
  3. Displacement time is zigzag.
