NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
Consider a velocity-time graph where the velocity of an object changes as shown: starting from 0 m/s at t = 0 s, reaching 10 m/s at t = 5 s, and then remaining constant till t = 10 s. What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 3 s?
6 m/s
10 m/s
3 m/s
5 m/s
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At t = 3 s, the object's velocity is still increasing from 0 to 10 m/s over 5 seconds. By linear interpolation, the velocity at t = 3 s is 6 m/s.
