The position of a particle moving along the x -axis at certain times is given below :
t ( s ) 0 1 2 3 x ( m ) – 2 0 6 16
Which of the following describes the motion correctly
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Instantaneous velocity \(\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}\)
By using the data from the table
\(v_{1} = \frac{0 - (-2)}{1} = 2 \text{ m/s}, \quad v_{2} = \frac{6 - 0}{1} = 6 \text{ m/s}\)
\(v_2 = \frac{16 - 6}{1} = 10 \text{ m/s}\)
So, motion is non-uniform but accelerated.
