STANDARD Physics Acceleration-Time Graphs MCQ Question
The figure shows a particle moving along x-axis subjected to three intervals of acceleration (a). Rank the intervals according to the changes in velocity they produce in the particle, greatest first.
2 > 1 > 3
2 > 3 > 1
1 > 3 > 2
1 > 2 > 3
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The area under the acceleration-time graph gives the change in velocity. Interval 1 has the largest area, followed by interval 2, and then interval 3. Therefore, the ranking is 1 > 2 > 3.
