A three-wheeler starts from rest, accelerates uniformly with `1 ms^(-2)` on a straight road for 10 s, and then moves with uniform velocity. Plot the distance covered by the vehicle during the nth second (n = 1,2,3….) versus n. What do you expect this plot to be during accelerated motion : a straight line or a parabola ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A straight line inclined with the time-axis for uniformly accelerated motion, parallel to the time- axis for uniform motion.
