Question

The velocity-displacement graph describing the motion of a bicycle is shown in the figure.

The acceleration-displacement graph of the bicycle's motion is best described by:

Options

• 

• 

• 

• 

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using the relation,

`a = v (dv)/(dx)`

The slope of the velocity vs displacement graph is constant from x = 0 to 200m, but velocity increases.

As a result, acceleration will increase.

The slope of the velocity vs displacement graph is zero between x = 200 and 400m.

As a result, acceleration will be zero.
