NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
A vehicle is moving in a straight line with different initial velocities and stops due to uniform deceleration. Consider a diagram showing four velocity-time graphs each with initial velocities of 11 m/s, 15 m/s, 20 m/s, and 25 m/s plotted against time until the vehicle comes to rest. What can be inferred about the relationship between the initial velocity and stopping distance from these graphs?
Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of the initial velocity.
Stopping distance is inversely proportional to the square of the initial velocity.
Stopping distance is directly proportional to the initial velocity.
Stopping distance is inversely proportional to the initial velocity.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
From the NCERT context, it is stated that the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial velocity, which is consistent with the velocity-time graphs.
