Question
The diagram below shows the pattern of the oil on the road at a constant rate from a moving car. What information do you get from it about the motion of the car.
Solution
Initially as the drops are equidistant, we can say that the car is moving with a constant speed but later as the distance between the drops starts decreasing, we can say that the car slows down.
