An object is moving in a straight line. ...

An object is moving in a straight line. Its position versus time graph is shown below. There is a detector at origin which analyze the motion of object between `t=6` and `t=8` seconds, which statement describes the motion shown in the graph.

A

detector observes the object to be moving towards origin.

B

detector observes the object to be moving away from origin.

C

Detector observes the motion at decreasing speed.

D

Detector observes the motion at increasting speed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
From `t=6 sec` to `t=8 sec`. Velocity of partcle is towards `-ve` `x-` axis and position is positive so object is moving towards origin.
