2.Motion in Straight Line
easy
Given figure shows the $x-t$ plot of one-dimensional motion of a particle. Is it correct to say from the graph that the particle moves in a straight line for $t < 0$ and on a parabolic path for $t >0$? If not, suggest a suitable physical context for this graph.
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
No. The $x-t$ graph of a particle moving in a straight line for $t<0$ and on a parabolic path for $t>0$ cannot be shown as the given graph. This is because, the given particle does not follow the trajectory of path followed by the particle as $t=0, x=0 .$ A physical situation that resembles the above graph is of a freely falling body held for sometime at a height
