Q2 of 89 Page 49

Figure (3-Q2) shows the displacement-time graph of a particle moving on the X-axis.


Slope gives velocity in the displacement-time graph. From time 0 to t0, the slope is constant and hence the velocity is constant. After t0, the displacement is zero and hence the particle does not move.

Rain is falling vertically. A man running on the road keeps his umbrella tilted but a man standing on the street keeps his umbrella vertical to protect himself from the rain. But both of them keep their umbrella vertical to avoid the vertical sun-rays. Explain.

A particle has a velocity u towards east at
t = 0. Its acceleration is towards west and is constant. Let xA and xB be the magnitude of displacements in the first 10 seconds and the next 10 seconds
