STANDARD Physics Position-Time Graphs MCQ Question
The position-time (x-t) graphs for two children A and B returning from their school O to their homes P and Q respectively are as shown in the figure. Choose the incorrect statement regarding these graphs.
A lives closer to the school than B.
A starts from the school earlier than B.
A walks faster than B.
A and B reach homes at the same time.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The slope of the x-t graph represents speed. Since the slope of the x-t graph for B is greater than that for A, B walks faster than A. Hence, option C is incorrect.
