Q106 / 200 · NEET 2008 (Screening) · Physics

A particle shows distance-time curve as given in this figure. The maximum instantaneous velocity of the particle is around the point

A
$B$
Correct answer
B
$C$
C
$D$
D
$A$

Solution

Particle has maximum instantaneous velocity at that point at which its slope is maximum. Therefore, $y_{\max }=\frac{d x}{d t}=$ maximum slope From figure it is obvious that at point $C$, slope is maximum, hence at this point velocity is maximum.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
