Question

The distance traveled by a body, moving with uniform acceleration, is directly proportional to time.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. According to the 2^nd equation of motion, $\mathrm{s}=\mathrm{ut}+\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{at}}^2$ where u is the initial velocity of the body, a is the constant acceleration of the body and t is the time taken by the body.
2. When acceleration, a = 0, $\mathrm{s}\propto \mathrm{t}$ and when the initial velocity(u) of the body = 0 then $\mathrm{s}\propto {\mathrm{t}}^2$.

Hence, the given statement is false.
