Question
Diagram shows a velocity – time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three sections AB, BC and CD.
Compare the distance travelled in section BC with the distance travelled in section AB.

Solution
`"Distance travelled in part BC"/"Distance travelled in part AB"=("v"_0xx"t")/(1/2xx"t"xx"v"_0)=2/1=2:1`

Figure shows the distance-time graph of three students A, B and C. On the basis of the graph, answer the following :
Which of the three is traveling the fastest?
(i) In speed time graph uniform motion is given by a straight line parallel to x axis so figure (a) denotes the uniform motion.
(ii) In speed time graph motion with increasing speed is shown by straight line with positive slope so figure (c) denotes the motion with speed increasing.
(iii) In speed time graph motion with decreasing speed is shown by straight line with negative slope so figure (b) denotes the motion with speed decreasing.
(iv) In speed time graph motion with oscillating speed is shown by zigzag line so figure {d) denotes the motion with speed oscillating.
