Explanation / Answer

1.D

Given the bird accelerating from rest experiences a displacement of 34 min in 12 s

the average velocity of the bird is V_avg = 34/12 m/s = 2.833 m/s

Answer is option D

2.D

on a position vs time graph , the slope of the straight line joining two points on the plotted curve give the average velocity

the slope of the curve is velocity between two points is average velocity

answer is option D

3.B

The ball starts at origin and at t=5s , velocity became zero means the slope is zero so the answer is the ball has stopped

4. C

when a ball thrown vertically upwards , the velocity of the ball (vertical motion only so horizontal velocity is zero )become zero at the top only

as the gravitational force acts downward so it reaches to a certain height only at the top the velocity become zero, form there the ball move downward
