Motion in a Straight Line

The velocity (vv)–time (tt) plot of the motion of a body is shown below. The acceleration (aa)–time (tt) graph that best suits this motion is:

Question 38 as printed in the NEET 2024 booklet

  1. A.Graph (1)
  2. B.Graph (2)✓
  3. C.Graph (3)
  4. D.Graph (4)

Solution

The velocity rises linearly (constant positive acceleration), stays constant (zero acceleration), then falls linearly (constant negative acceleration). The aa–tt graph is therefore a positive rectangle, zero, then a negative rectangle — graph (2).
