Question
Look at the position-time graph below. What is the kind of motion shown by section no.2 of the graph?
- Decelerating motion
- Stationary
- Non-uniform motion
- Accelerating motion
Hint:
The slope of the position-time graph shows the velocity of the body.
The correct answer is: Stationary
Section 2 shows that the body is at rest.
The slope of section 2 is zero hence there is no velocity. and the body is not covering any distance in the given interval of time in section 2.
