Question

For a moving particle, what does decrease in displacement with time indicates ?

• A. The particle is moving towards its initial position
• B. The acceleration of the particle is approaching zero
• C. The particle is moving with uniform speed.
• D. The particle is moving with uniform motion.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The particle is moving towards its initial position

When a body is moving towards its initial point, then it indicates decrease in displacement with time, because the body is moving back to its initial position, hence displacement will be negative.
