(3) The relative velocity of Q w.r.t. P is increasing with time
(4) The relative velocity of Q w.r.t. P is decreasing with time
Sol. Answer (2, 3)
Two particles have different slopes at initial points therefore they have different initial velocity.
Also, rate of change of slope of Q is more than that of P.
 v Q  v P ⇒ v QP  0.

(2) The particle changes its direction of motion at some point of time
(3) The particle does not return to its starting point at the end of the interval
(4) The acceleration of particle changes from –ve to +ve
Sol. Answer (2, 3)
From the given v-t graph it is clear that speed first decreases then increases.
Also, area of v-t curve is not equal to zero therefore particle does not return to initial point.

Graphs are very useful to represent a physical situation. Various quantitites can be easily represented on graphs
and other quantites can be determined from the graph. For example the slope of velocity-time graph represents
instantaneous acceleration.For a motion with constant acceleration slope of velocity-time graph is constant. If
acceleration is changing with time, slope with change and thus velocity-time graph will be a non-linear curve.
Further the area of velocity-time graph gives displacement.

1. A particle moves in a straight line (x-axis) with the velocity shown in the figure. Knowing that x = –16 m at
t = 0, draw the a-t and x-t curves for the interval 0 < t < 40 s and determine
(i) Maximum value of the position coordinate of the particle.
(ii) The values of t for which the particle is at a distance of 50 m from the origin.

Sol. (i) According to diagram, velocity of particle is positive from zero to 24 sec and further it becomes negative.
i.e., initially particle moves along the positive direction and it comes to rest at t = 24 sec and further
comes back, hence maximum value of x coordinate is at t = 24 sec. It can be found as,
x = x0 + x
x0 is position at t = 0 and x is displacement which is equal to area of v-t curve.
 x = x0 + Area from 0 to 24 sec.

= – 16 + 30 + 12 + 27 = 53 m
(ii) ∵ Maximum value of x co-ordinate for the particle is 53 m and after this particle comes back. The
particle will be at a distance of 50 m from origin when x = ± 50.
The position at t = 15 s, is x = 26 m.
For interval t = 15 to t = 33 s, velocity can be written as

t '2  12t '  6t ' 72  0 ⇒ (t '  12)(t '  6)  0
t = 12 and t = 6
Hence the first instant for x = 50 m is, 15 + 6 = 21 s.
And the second instant for x = 50 is, 15 + 12 = 27 s.
For third instant, t > 33 s and x = –50
–50 50 +53
For t > 30
V = –6
and at t = 30
x = 53 – 27 = 26
Also, particle has a distance of 50 meter from the origin if it is at x = – 50 m.
and particle is moving with uniform speed from t = 30 sec, therefore to reach at x = – 50 m, time taken is
