Let us cell a motion, AA when velocity is positive and increasing A−1A^{-1} when velocity is negative and increasing. RR when velocity is positive and decreasing and R−1R^{-1} when velocity is negative and decreasing. Now, match the following two columns for the given s−ts-t graph. (
Column IColumn II
(A)M(p)A^{-1}
(B)N(q)R^{-1}
(C)P(r)A
(D)Q(s)R
)

Options

  1. A((\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}, \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{D} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}))
  2. B((\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}, \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{D} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}))
  3. C((\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{D} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}))
  4. D((\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}, \mathrm{D} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}))

Correct answer

A. ((\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}, \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{q}, \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{D} \rightarrow \mathrm{s}))

Step-by-step solution

Rule: velocity == slope of s−ts-t curve (sign from slope), velocity increasing/decreasing == sign of acceleration = concavity of s(t)s(t) (concave up (\rightarrow) acceleration (>0 \rightarrow) velocity increasing; concave down (\rightarrow) acceleration (< 0 \rightarrow) velocity decreasing).
Apply at marked points:
- MM : slope negative, curve concave up (\rightarrow) velocity negative and increasing (\rightarrow A^{-1}).
- NN : slope negative, curve concave down (\rightarrow) velocity negative and decreasing (\rightarrow R^{-1}).
- PP : slope positive, curve concave up (\rightarrow) velocity positive and increasing (\rightarrow A).
- QQ : slope positive, curve concave down (\rightarrow) velocity positive and decreasing (\rightarrow R).
So matching: (M \rightarrow p\left(A^{-1}\right), N \rightarrow q\left(R^{-1}\right), P \rightarrow r(A), Q \rightarrow s(R)). (Choice 1.)
