प्रश्न
Four cars A, B, C and D are moving on a levelled, straight road. Their distance-time graphs are shown in the given figure. Which of the following is the correct statement regarding the motion of these cars?
विकल्प
car A is faster than car D
car B is the slowest
car D is faster than the car C
car C is the slowest
उत्तर
The slope of distance time graph gives the speed or the measure of rate of change of distance per unit time. So, the answer is,
(b) Car B is the slowest

Two friends leave Delhi for Chandigarh in their cars. A starts at 5 am and moves with a constant speed of 30 km/h, whereas B starts at 6 am and moves with a constant speed of 40 kmh-1.

Starting from A, Paheli moves along a rectangular path ABCD as shown in Figure 13.7. She takes 2 minutes to travel each side. Plot a distance-time graph and explain whether the motion is uniform or non-uniform.
The slope of the distance-time graph indicates the speed.
Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
