Physics
State the type of motion represented by the following sketches in the figure.
Give example of each type of motion.
(a)
(b)
Answer
(a) The graph shows uniformly accelerated motion.
Example — Uniform acceleration is depicted by the motion of a body released downwards.
(b) The graph shows the motion with a variable retardation.
Example — Motion with a variable retardation is shown by a car approaching its destination.
