The displacement-time graph of two moving particles make angles of \(30^{\circ}\) and \(45^{\circ}\) with the \(X\)-axis. The ratio of their velocities is

  1. A \(\sqrt{3}: 2\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 2\)
  4. D \(1: \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By the definition, the slope of displacement-time graph is velocity.
i.e., \(\quad v=\tan \theta\)
\(\therefore \frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{\tan \theta_{1}}{\tan \theta_{2}}\)
\(\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{\tan 30^{\circ}}{\tan 45^{\circ}}\)
\(\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
