Question

State the type of motion represented by following sketches in Fig. 2.34 (a) and (b).

Give example of each type of motion.

Answer 1

a) The given graph is of uniform accelerated motion because it changes its velocity equally in equal intervals of time.

Example: The motion of a freely falling body and a vertically thrown up body are the example of uniform accelaration.

b) The given graph is of non-uniform decelerated motion because velocity is decreasing in unequal intervals of time.

Example: The motion of a train.
