Q1 of 26 Page 13

Among the four graphs (Fig. 3.1), there is only one graph for which average velocity over the time interval (0, T) can vanish for a suitably chosen T. Which one is it?


Average velocity is the ratio of the total displacement covered to the total time taken to cover the displacement. In the graphs, we need to find one in which there is same displacement at any two timings which is evidently in graph (b).
