20 s

38. Answer (2)


If average velocity = zero, then displacement is zero, it means particle takes a turn in the opposite direction
and at the time of turning back velocity has to be zero.
39. Answer (2)
From C to B the time interval of travelling is same.

v1 = 6 m/s C
A B
v2 2 m/s v3 4 m/s
v2  v3 2  4 t t
So, v av    3 m/s
2 2

6 m/s
Now, A B

Now, first half is covered with 6 m s–1 and second half with 3 m s–1. So when distances are same,

v av    4 m s1
v1  v 2 63

From the graph it is clear that the x is a function of time and speed/velocity is also changing. So, if velocity
is changing then definitely the acceleration also changes with time. So, at t = 0, x = 0, so v = 0 but it is
function of time and hence non-uniform.
