The displacement time graph of a moving particle is shown in Fig. . The instantaneous velocity of the particle is negative at the point




Important Questions on Motion of a Particle
Fig. (i) and show the displacement-time graph of two particles moving along -axis. We can say that:

The displacement of a particle is given by . The initial velocity and acceleration are respectively

A particle is thrown vertically upwards. The graph between its speed and time is given by (neglecting for resistance) the figure [See Fig. ].

The velocity-time curve for a body projected vertically upward is


The velocity-time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in Fig. The displacement and distance travelled by the body in seconds are respectively


A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate for some time after which it decelerates at a constant rate and comes to rest. If the time elapsed is , maximum velocity acquired by the car is
