Starting from A, Paheli moves along a rectangular path ABCD as shown in figure. She takes 2 minutes to travel each side. Plot a distance-time graph and explain whether the motion is uniform or non-uniform.

Open in App

Solution

Since the distance covered per unit time for the entire rectangular path covered is not the same, the motion is non-uniform. As you can see when plotted on a graph, it is not a straight line.

Paheli moves on a straight road from point A to point C. She takes 20 minutes to cover a certain distance AB and 30 minutes to cover the rest of distance BC. She then turns back and takes 30 minutes to cover the distance CB and 20 minutes to cover the rest of the distance to her starting point. She makes 5 rounds on the road the same way. Paheli concludes that her motion is

(a) Only rectilinear motion.

(b) Only periodic motion.
