Important Questions on Motion in One Dimension
Two athletes are moving along a straight track. A figure shown below represents a displacement-time graph to display the movement of these two athletes. Find out who is moving faster. Give reason.


A particle moves to east and then through to north. Now, the net displacement is . Find the value of .

A body starts from rest and acquires a velocity in . Find acceleration of the body in

Choose the correct answer from the given options .


In the given figure, the displacement of an object is shown at different times. Calculate the velocity of the object as it moves from to , to , and .

A car travels with a uniform velocity of for . The brakes are then applied and the car comes to rest with a uniform retardation in a further . Draw a velocity-time graph and use it to find the distance with which the car travels after the brakes are applied.
