Question

The displacement-time graph for a body is given below. State whether the velocity and

acceleration of the body in the region DE are positive, negative or Zero.

• A. V = +ve and a = -ve
• B. V = -ve and a = -ve
• C. V = + ve and a = + ve
• D. V= +ve but a=0

Answer 1

The correct option is C

V = + ve and a = + ve

For DE, velocity is increasing with respect to time, so velocity is positive and also the

acceleration is positive.
