Question

2. Draw the velocity-time graph for the motion of an object having
(a) Zero acceleration
(b) Uniform retardation

Answer 1

Answer:

For a uniformly retarded motion, retardation( and hence acceleration) is a non-zero constant. Since slope of velocity-time graph is equal to acceleration, it can be concluded that slope of velocity-time graph is a non-zero constant. Hence, the velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis.
