Sketch the nature of the position - time graph for the unidirectional motion of a particle, having a variable velocity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The curved line OP in Fig. 1.44 indicates the nature of the graph. It is to be noted that the curve OP does not have a negative gradient at any point on it. The negative gradient of a line like AB means that, time is running backwards - it is physically meaningless. On the other hand the negative gradient of CD means that the particle is moving back then it would not be a unidirectional motion.
