The displacement x versus time graph is shown below. [figure] Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- (B), (C), (D) only
- (B), (D), (E) only
- (A), (D), (E) only
- (B), (C), (E) only
Answer
(4) (B), (C), (E) only
Solution
From the graph: x(0)=0, x(1)=-5, x(2)=0, x(3)=5, x(5)=5, x(6)=10, x(7)=0, x(8)=-5, x(9)=0 (in m)
(A) vav= x(3)-x(0)3= 53 m/s 10 m/s incorrect
(B) vav= 5-52=0 correct
(C) From 1 s to 3 s the graph is a straight line A to C: v= 5-(-5)3-1=5 m/s at t=2 s correct
(D) vav(5 7)= 0-52=-2.5 m/s; at t=6.5 s (line E to F): v= 0-107-6=-10 m/s not equal, incorrect
(E) x(9)-x(0)=0 vav=0 correct
(B), (C), (E) only
Answer: (4)
