Four cars A, B, C, and D are moving on a levelled road. Their distance versus time graphs are shown in Figure. Choose the correct statement
(a) Car A is faster than car D.
(b) Car B is the slowest.
(c) Car D is faster than car C.
(d) Car C is the slowest.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
Explanation:-
If we closely observe the graph, we will notice that for any time interval distance traveled by car C is maximum followed by D, A, and B.
- Hence, car C is the fastest car and car B is the slowest car. In da istance-time graph, if the graph is a straight line then the angle between the straight line and the time axis represents the slope or velocity of the car.
- Larger the angle implies larger the slope means larger velocity.
