the distance travelled by scooter is the maximum in this section
the distance travelled by scooter is the minimum in this section
the distance travelled by the scooter is zero in this section

उत्तर
If distance time graph is parallel to the time axis then the object has not travelled any distance. So, the answer is
(d) Distance travelled by the scooter is zero in this section.

Two friends leave Delhi for Chandigarh in their cars. A starts at 5 am and moves with a constant speed of 30 km/h, whereas B starts at 6 am and moves with a constant speed of 40 kmh-1. Plot the distance-time graph for their motion and find at what time the two friends will meet and at what distance from Delhi.

What are the uses of the graphical study of motion?
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.

- What does the graph between points B and C indicate about the motion of Boojho?
- Is the motion between 0 to 4 minutes uniform or non-uniform?
- What is his speed between 8 and 12 minutes of his journey?
Assertion: The slope of the distance-time graph of a body moving with high speed is steeper than the slope of the distance-time graph of a body with low velocity.
Reason: Slope of distance-time graph = speed of the body.
What do you infer if
- Distance – time graph is a straight line.
- The velocity-time graph is curved.
- Displacement time is zigzag.
