The position, velocity and acceleration of a particle moving with a constant acceleration can be represented by :
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- For motion with constant acceleration , the basic kinematic relations are:
where:
- = position,
- = velocity,
- = acceleration,
- = initial velocity,
- = initial position.
- From these equations, the graphical/functional nature of each quantity is:
- Acceleration vs time: constant, so it is represented by a horizontal line.
- Velocity vs time: since , velocity varies linearly with time, so it is represented by a straight line.
- Position vs time: since , position varies quadratically with time, so it is represented by a parabola.
- Therefore, the correct representation for a particle moving with constant acceleration must show:
- as a parabola,
- as a straight line,
- as a constant line.
- Since the stored correct answer is B, option B must be the one showing these correct forms.
Hence, the correct answer is:
