The following figures show the variation of displacement with time of a particular object. (a) Figure (a) and (b) show object at rest and object moving with uniform velocity in positive x direction respectively. (b) Figure (b) and (c) show object at rest and object moving with uniform velocity in negative x direction respectively. (c) Figure (c) and (d) show object at rest and object moving with uniform velocity in negative x direction respectively. (d) Figure (a) and (b) show object at rest.

Answer: (a). Figure (a): x constant, slope zero, so the object is at rest. Figure (b): straight line with positive constant slope, so uniform velocity in +x direction. Figure (c): constant negative slope (uniform velocity in -x), not rest; (d) changes direction. So the answer is (a).

The following figures show the variation of displacement with time of a particular object.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Figure (a): $x$ constant, slope zero, so the object is at rest.
Figure (b): straight line with positive constant slope, so uniform velocity in $+x$ direction.
Figure (c): constant negative slope (uniform velocity in $-x$ ), not rest; (d) changes direction.
So the answer is (a).
