Question

Mira plotted a s-t graph of her car journey by collecting data during a drive. She started from rest and slowly increased her velocity until it reached a particular value. Then she maintained a uniform motion. Lastly, she slowed down gradually to bring the car to a stop. Which of the following graphs would resemble the graph plotted by Mira?

 

The correct answer is:


    • In an s - t graph the slope indicates the velocity of the body
    • during acceleration the slope of the curve increses
    • And during uniform motion the slope of the curve remains constant.
