Questions  

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis at certain times is given below :
 

t (s)0123
(m)–20616


Which of the following describes the motion correctly 
 

a
Uniform, accelerated
b
Uniform, decelerated
c
Non-uniform, accelerated
d
There is not enough data for generalization

detailed solution

Correct option is C

from the given data ,  instant velocity is estimated using two successive readings to evaluate the consistency Instantaneous velocity v=ΔxΔt By using the data from the table  v1=0−(−2)1=2m/s. v2=6−01=6 m/s v3=16−61=10 m/s hence  motion is non-uniform but accelerated
