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.

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.
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.
