Question

From the given v–t graph (Fig. 8.1), it can be inferred that the object is:

Options

• in uniform motion

• at rest

• in non-uniform motion

• moving with uniform acceleration

Answer 1

moving with uniform acceleration

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between two positions, it is generally less than distance. But displacement can be equal to distance when the path taken is a straight line. So, the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is equal to or less than 1.
