Question
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?

Solution
a. Graph between points B and C is a horizontal line which indicates that Boojho is at rest, i.e., his speed is zero.
b. Motion between 0 to 4 minutes is non-uniform as distance-time graph for this time interval is not a straight line.
c. Speed of Boojho between 8 and 12 minutes of his journey
= `((225 - 150) "m")/((12 - 8) "min")`
= `75/4`
= 18.75 m/min
