Question:

A particle is thrown vertically up with a certain velocity. Assuming the air resistance to be negligible, which one of the following represents the velocity (along $y$-axis) time (along $x$-axis) graph for the entire motion of the particle till it reaches back to the ground

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In the positive region, the velocity decreases linearly (during rise) and in the negative region velocity increases linearly (during fall) and the direction is opposite to each other during rise and fall, hence fall is shown in the negative region.

Motion in a straight line

The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion. 

Types of Linear Motion:

Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:

  1. Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
  2. Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
