Important Questions on Motion




In the given fig., four cases of the speed-time graph are given. In which case is the speed constant? In which case is the speed increasing? In which case is the speed decreasing? What happens in the fourth case?



Draw the velocity-time graphs for the following situations:
(a) When the body is moving with a uniform velocity.
(b) When the body is moving with a variable velocity and uniform acceleration.
(c) When the body is moving with a variable (non-uniform) velocity and uniform deceleration.
(d) When the body is moving with a variable velocity and variable acceleration.

Differentiate between speed-time graph and velocity-time graph of a body thrown vertically upward.
