Question
A student draws a distance-time graph for a moving scooter and finds that a section of the graph is horizontal line parallel to the time axis. Which of the following conclusion is correct about this section of the graph?
Options
the scooter has uniform by scooter is the maximum in this section
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

Solution
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.
