UPSC 2001: Which of the following distance–time graphs (x–t) represents one-dimensional uniform motion?
(a)[graph (a)]
(b)[graph (b)]
(c)[graph (c)]
(d)[graph (d)]
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) [graph (d)]
Uniform (constant-velocity) motion in one dimension is represented by a straight line of constant slope on an x-t graph. Figure (d) in the original set is the only straight-line graph, so option (d) is correct; the other figures show curves or changing slopes indicating non-uniform motion or rest.
