Power
A particle is moving unidirectionally on a horizontal plane under the action of a constant power supplying energy source. The displacement (s) - time (t) graph that describes the motion of the particle is (graphs are drawn schematically and are not to scale):
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Constant power gives , so .
- starts at the origin, and its slope keeps increasing.
- So the graph curves upward (concave up) from the origin.
- So the answer is (b).
