The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given speed-time graphs is physically not possible, we will analyze each option based on the properties of speed and the characteristics of speed-time graphs. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Speed-Time Graphs**: - A speed-time graph represents the relationship between speed (the magnitude of velocity) and time. - Speed is always a non-negative quantity; it cannot be negative. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - In the graph for Option A, if we draw a vertical line at a specific time, we observe that there are two different speeds corresponding to the same time. - This implies that the speed is not uniquely defined for that instant, which is not physically possible. - **Conclusion**: Option A is not possible. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - Similar to Option A, in the graph for Option B, drawing a vertical line at a specific time also shows two different speeds for that same time. - Again, this means the speed is not uniquely defined, which is also not physically possible. - **Conclusion**: Option B is not possible. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - In the graph for Option C, we notice that the speed is represented as a negative value. - Since speed cannot be negative, this representation is not physically possible. - **Conclusion**: Option C is not possible. 5. **Final Conclusion**: - Since all three options (A, B, and C) are not possible based on the analysis, the answer is that all of them are physically not possible. - Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: All of the above are not possible.
