Question 29: Motion in 1D

Question

The position-time graphs for two students A and B returning from the school to their homes are shown in figure.

(A) A lives closer to the school
(B) B lives closer to the school
(C) A takes lesser time to reach home
(D) A travels faster than B
(E) B travels faster than A
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Accepted Answer

From the given graphs, it can be seen
$$
\begin{gathered}
	ext { slope }_{\mathrm{B}}>	ext { slope }_{\mathrm{A}} \\
v_{\mathrm{B}}>v_{\mathrm{A}}
\end{gathered}
$$
$	herefore$ Statement (E) is correct.
Also, $x_{\mathrm{A}} < x_{\mathrm{B}}$, A lives closer to school.
$	herefore$ Statement $(\mathrm{A})$ is correct.
