Physics Question on Motion in a straight line
Fig shows the time-displacement curve of the particles P and Which of the following statement is correct?
A
Both P and Q move with uniform equal speed
B
P is accelerated Q is retarded
C
Both P and Q move with uniform speeds but the speed of P is more than the speed of Q
D
Both P and Q move with uniform speeds but the speed of Q is more than the speed of P
Answer
Both P and Q move with uniform speeds but the speed of P is more than the speed of Q
Explanation
Solution
As x - t graph is a straight line in either case, velocity of both is uniform. As the slope of x - t graph for P is greater, therefore, velocity of P is greater than that of
