Question

Match the graphs with the types of motion associated with a body.

• A. A - 3, B - 1, C - 5, D - 2, E - 4
• B. A - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 4, E - 5
• C. A - 2, B - 1, C - 5, D - 3, E - 4
• D. A - 2, B - 1, C - 5, D - 3, E - 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B A - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 4, E - 5

As we can see,
Graph A: represents the motion of an object with increasing speed (as more distance is covered with the passage of time) and the motion is non-uniform (as the graph is not a straight line but gets steeper with time).
Graph B: represents the motion of an object with decreasing speed (as less distance gets covered with the passage of time) and the motion is non-uniform (as the graph is not a straight line but gets less steep with time).
Graph C: represents that the body is moving at a uniform speed (as the graph is a straight line) and away from the starting point (as the graph is going up).

Graph D: represents that the body is moving at a uniform speed(as the graph is a straight line) and toward the starting point (as the graph is going down).
Graph E: When the graph is parallel to the time axis in the distance-time graph, it represents that the body is at rest.
