18. Read the following CASE-STUDY based passages and answer the questions:
The area under velocity-time graph gives the displacement of an object. The velocity-time graph of particle
is not a straight line. Its acceleration is variable. The displacement-time graph of an object moving with a
constant speed (uniform velocity) the distance-time graph is straight line. As the speed of an object, falling
freely under gravity, depends only upon its height from which it is allowed to fall and not upon its mass.
Since the paths are frictionless and all the objects are falling through the same vertical height, therefore,
their speeds on reaching the ground must be same. [4]
(a) What is unit of the area under a velocity-time graph?
(b) If the velocity-time graph of a particle is not a straight line. What you can say about its acceleration?
(c) If a particle moves with a constant speed. Draw corresponding distance-time graph?
