Look at the graphs (a) to (d) (Fig.) carefully and state, with reasons, which of these cannot possibly represent onedimensional motion of a particle. |

Answer» (a) From the graph, we see that for certain instants of time, the particle has 2 positions, which is not possible. Hence this graph cannot possibly represent one-dimensional motion of a particle. (b) From the graph, we see that for certain instants of time, the particle has 2 velocities, which is not possible. Hence this graph cannot possibly represent one-dimensional motion of a particle. (c) From the graph, we see that for some instants of time, the particle has negative speed. But speed is always a non-negative quantity. Hence this graph cannot possibly represent one-dimensional motion of a particle. (d) From the graph, we see that for a time interval the total path length is decreasing. But total path length is always a nondecreasing quantity. Hence this graph cannot possibly represent one-dimensional motion of a particle. |
