NEETPhysicsMotion in One Dimension
The position-time graphs for two students A and B returning from the school to their homes are shown in figure. (A) A lives closer to the school (B) B lives closer to the school (C) A takes lesser time to reach home (D) A travels faster than B (E) B travels faster than A Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AA , C and D only
- BA , C and E only
- CB and E only
- DA and E only
Correct answer
D. A and E only
Step-by-step solution
From the position time graph the velocity is found out by the slope of the line. The slope is given by x 2 - x 1 t 2 - t 1 . The slope of B is greater than A . Hence, the velocity of B is greater than A . As can be seen from the graph X A < X B . So A lives closer to the school and V B > V A . Hence, this is the correct option.
