Out of the three speed$-$time graphs shown below

Identify the graph for the following cases.

$(i)$ A ball thrown vertically upwards and returning to the hand of the thrower ?

$(ii)$ A body decelerating to a constant speed and accelerating.

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

$(i)$ Graph $(a)$ shows that the speed of a body decreases with time becomes zero and then again starts increasing. This graph, therefore, represents the case of a ball thrown vertically upwards and then caught by the thrower. Initially, the ball is thrown with some speed. As the ball rises up its speed decreases at a constant rate, becomes and zero at maximum height. The ball then falls with a uniform acceleration till its speed becomes equal to speed of projection.

$(ii)$ Graph $(c)$ represents deceleration of the body to some constant speed, and then accelerating after sometime.
