A particle reaches its highest point when it has covered exactly one half of its horizontal range. The corresponding point on the displacement -time graph is charecterized by :

A

Zero slope and zero curvature

B

Zero slope and non-zero curvature

C

Positive slope and zero curvature

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
b. The vertical displacement vs. time graph
has the same form as the trajectory of the
particle.
At the topmost point, the slope is zero, but
the curvature is non-zero.
