2.Motion in Straight Line
easy

The displacement $(x)$ - time $(t)$ graph of a particle is shown in figure. Which of the following is correct?

A

Particle starts with zero velocity and variable acceleration

B

Particle starts with non-zero velocity and variable acceleration

C

Particle starts with zero velocity and uniform acceleration

D

Particle starts with non-zero velocity and uniform acceleration

Solution

(a)

From the graph it is clear that the $x$ is a function of time and speed/velocity is also changing. So, if velocity is changing then definitely the acceleration also changes with time. So, at $t=0, x=0$, so $v=0$ but it is function of time and hence non-uniform.
