Question

on a velocity-time graph for a particle, suppose the plot starts at some positive velocity and then follows a straight line to zero at a later time. which of the following must be true about the position vs time graph for this same time interval?

a) the curve will start at a positive position value and follow a straight line to zero at later time

b) the cruve will rise steeply at first and as time goes on will level out approaching its highest position value at the later time

c) the cruve will drop steeply at first and as time goes on will approach its lowest value at the later time

d)the curve will start at the zero of position and follow a straight line to its highest line to its highest position at the later time

Explanation / Answer

Answer is b. Because position is nothing but area under curve covered by velocity and time.
