2
varies with time t as, a = t – 1, where time t is in seconds and acceleration is in m/s . Choose the
correct option(s).
(A) Particle first moves towards positive x axis and then turns back towards negative x axis.
(B) Particle first moves towards negative x axis and then turns back towards positive x axis.
(C) Particle reverses the direction of motion at t = 1 s.
(D) Particle reverses the direction of motion at t = 2 s.

Sol. Acceleration-time graph

Area of a – t graph = change in velocity.

Area in 2–s = 0
 v = 0
v–u=0
v–0=0
v=0
 Particle turns at t = 2s
Initial area is negative so first particle moves towards negative x-axis, then turn back towards the x-axis

(A) At E, the acceleration a < 0
(B) At B, the acceleration a > 0
(C) Average velocity for the motion between A and D is negative
(D) The speed at 'D' is more than that at 'E'
Ans. (ACD)

ACT-1-(11)-130720-3
Sol. At E, the acceleration a < 0
At C, the slope of x-t curve almost zero i.e., velocity at C is also zero.
At point B velocity = 0, before B velocity is positive so speed of particle is decreasing i.e., if v > 0 then
a < 0 (acceleration is negative hence at B. a < 0).

< v > between A and D is negative because initial position is greater than final position.
From graph it is clear that
|slope at D | > | Slope at E |
