The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, we will evaluate each statement (A) and (R) regarding uniform motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement (A)**: - The statement (A) claims that the velocity-time graph for an object in uniform motion along a straight path is a straight line parallel to the time axis. - In uniform motion, the velocity of the object remains constant over time. This means that there is no change in velocity as time progresses. 2. **Drawing the Velocity-Time Graph**: - On a graph, the x-axis represents time, and the y-axis represents velocity. - Since the velocity is constant, the graph will be a horizontal line. This line is parallel to the time axis (x-axis). - Therefore, statement (A) is **True**. 3. **Understanding Statement (R)**: - The statement (R) claims that in uniform motion of an object, velocity increases as the square of the time elapsed. - In uniform motion, the definition states that the velocity does not change; it remains constant. The relationship between velocity and time does not involve any increase or decrease. - The equation for velocity in uniform motion is given by \( v = u + at \), where \( a \) (acceleration) is zero in uniform motion. Thus, \( v = u \), indicating that velocity remains constant and does not depend on time. 4. **Conclusion on Statement (R)**: - Since the velocity does not increase with time but remains constant, statement (R) is **False**. 5. **Final Evaluation**: - Statement (A) is True, and Statement (R) is False. - Therefore, the answer to the question is that (A) is true and (R) is false.
