Question

Which of the following type of graphs describes non-uniform motion correctly?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A
C
D

For a non-uniform motion of a body, the body should not have a constant velocity.

In displacement-time graph a line with a constant slope (slope not equal to zero) is a case of uniform motion with a constant velocity. Hence when the curve does not have a constant slope then it is a case of non-uniform motion.

For a case of velocity-time graph, if the line has a constant slope (non zero) then it has constant non zero acceleration. If the slope of the curve is not constant but varying then it has varying acceleration. These both cases are a case of non-uniform motion.
