If the velocity of particle is varying linearly with time then shape of d-t curve would be

Correct answer: B. Squared

  • A. Linear
  • B. Squared
  • C. Cubic
  • D. Decreasing linearly

Explanation

If the velocity of a particle is varying linearly with time, it means that the acceleration is constant. In this case, the relationship between displacement (d) and time (t) can be described by a quadratic equation, resulting in a parabolic shape on the d-t graph. This is because the change in displacement over time is affected by both the initial velocity and the constant acceleration. Thus, the correct answer is 'Squared'. The other options such as 'Linear', 'Cubic', and 'Decreasing linearly' do not accurately represent the parabolic trajectory that occurs with constant acceleration.

About Force and Motion

Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
