Questions  

For a particle moving along the x-axis, a scaled x-t graph is shown in figure. Mark the correct statement(s).

a
Speed of the particle is greatest at C.
b
Speed of the particle is greatest at B.
c
Particle is speeding up in region marked CD.
d
Particle is speeding up in the region marked AB.

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Point of steepest slope corresponds to the maximum speed. Particle will speed up when the directions of acceleration and velocity are same. For region AB, both the acceleration and velocity are positive while for CD both are negative, so particle is speeding up in these regions.
