The velocity (v) - time (t) plot of the motion of a body is shown below :
The acceleration (a) - time(t) graph that best suits this motion is :
The velocity (v) - time (t) plot of the motion of a body is shown below :
The acceleration (a) - time(t) graph that best suits this motion is :
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Analyze the Velocity-Time Graph
The slope of the velocity-time (v-t) graph represents acceleration. From the given plot:
The velocity increases linearly with time, implying constant acceleration.
Step 2: Match with the Acceleration-Time Graph
Since the acceleration is constant, the acceleration-time (a-t) graph must be a horizontal straight line.
Step 3: Conclusion
The correct acceleration-time graph is option (3)

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)
