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

The slope of the distance-time graph indicates the speed.
Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
What do you infer if
- Distance – time graph is a straight line.
- The velocity-time graph is curved.
- Displacement time is zigzag.
