The velocity-time plot for a particle moving on a straight line is shown in figure.

Answer»

The PARTICLE has a constant acceleration.
The particle has never tumed around.
The particle has zero displacement.
The average speed in the interval 0 to 10 s is the same as the average speed in the interval 10s to 20 s.

Solution :SINCE the GRAPH is a straight line, its SLOPE is constant. It means acceleration of the particle is constant. Velocity of the particle changes from positive to NEGATIVE at t= 10 s, so particle changes direction at this time. The particle has zero displacement up to 20 s, but not for the entire motion .
The average speed in the interval of 0 to 10 s is the same as the average speed in the interval of 10 s to 20 s beccause distance covered in both time interval is same.
