TS EAMCET · Physics · Motion In One Dimension

A particle covers a distance from \(A\) to \(B\) over a period of time; the distance versus time plot is the shown below. Then which of the following is true for the motion of the particle?

  1. A Both average speed and instantaneous speed are always zero.
  2. B Average speed is always non-zero but instantaneous speed can be zero.
  3. C Instantaneous speed is always non-zero but average speed can be zero.
  4. D Both average speed and instantaneous speed are always non-zero.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Average speed is always non-zero but instantaneous speed can be zero.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The distance versus time plot for movement of a particle from \(A\) and \(B\) is shown in the diagram. From graph, it is a slope of distance-time graph for position \(A\) to \(C\) and \(D\) to \(B\) is always positive, therefore both the average speed and instantaneous speed are…
