Among the four graphs (Fig. 3.1), there is only one graph for which average velocity over the time interval (0, T ) can vanish for a suitably chosen T. Which one is it?
The correct answer is the option (b)
Explanation: In graph (b) displacements are in the opposite direction & when we add them, we get net displacement & average velocity as zero. It satisfies the condition of displacement for different timings.
Let us draw a parallel line from A to the time axis at . It intersects the graph at B & the change in displacement time is zero. So, the displacement from A to & hence the average velocity of the body also vanishes to 0.
