Question
From the given v – t graph (Fig. 8.1), it can be inferred that the object is
Options
in uniform motion
at rest
in non-uniform motion
moving with uniform acceleration
Solution
moving with uniform acceleration
As displacement is the shortest distance between two positions so it is generally less than distance. But displacement can be equal to distance when the path taken is a straight line. So, the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is equal to or less than 1.
