The position of a particle moving along ...

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis at certain times is given below:
`{:(t(s),0,1,2,3),(x(m),-2,0,6,16):}`
Which of the following describes the motion correctly?

A

Uniform, accelerated

B

Uniform, decelerated

C

Non-uniform, accelerated

D

There is not enough data for generalization

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Instantaneous velocity `v = (Deltax)/(Delta t)`
By using the data from the table
`v_1 = (0 - (-2))/(1) = 2 m//s`
`v_2 = (6 - 0)/(1) = 6 m//s`
`v_3 = (16-6)/(1) = 10m//s`
So motion is non-uniform but accelerated.
