Figure 3.24 gives the `x - t` plot of a particle in one-dimensional motion. Three different equal intervals of time are shown. In which interval is the average speed greatest, and in which is it the least ? Give the sign of average velocity for each interval.

A

`nu_1` gt `nu_2`

B

`nu_2 gt nu_1`

C

`nu_1 = nu_2`

D

data is insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The average speed in a small interval of time is equal to the slope of x-t graph during that interval.
As slope of interval 1 gt slope of interval 2
`therefore` `v_1 gt v_2`
