Question #1 Report Error
A body moves with uniform acceleration. The graph between velocity and time is:
A. Parabola
B. Hyperbola
C. Straight line with positive slope
D. Straight line parallel to time axis

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Uniform acceleration means constant rate of change of velocity: a = dv/dt = constant. Thus v = u + at, a linear equation in t. Graph is straight line with slope = acceleration. Parallel to time axis (A) implies zero acceleration (constant velocity). Parabola (C) is for position-time under constant acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t graph slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. This graph interpretation question tests kinematics fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always link graph features to physical quantities: slope, area, intercepts have specific meanings in motion graphs.

Question #2 Report Error
The rate of change of displacement is
A. Acceleration
B. Momentum
C. Speed
D. Velocity

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Velocity = d(displacement)/dt. Speed is rate of change of distance.

Question #3 Report Error
The colour of light that deviates least in a glass prism is
A. Red
B. Violet
C. Green
D. Blue

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Dispersion: red has longest wavelength, lowest refractive index, deviates least. Violet deviates most. So spectrum: red at top (least deviation), violet at bottom.
