उत्तर
When an object is at rest, its distance-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
A straight line parallel to the x-axis in a distance-time graph indicates that with a change in time, there is no change in the position of the object. Thus, the object is at rest.

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.
