Uniform Acceleration Graphs – Motion from Rest | JEE Physics Graphs | Doubtify JEE
๐ Uniform Acceleration Motion Graphs | Kinematics | Doubtify JEE
๐ Question:
A particle starts from origin O from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration along the positive x-axis.
๐ Identify all the graphs that correctly represent the motion qualitatively:
-
a = acceleration
-
v = velocity
-
x = displacement
-
t = time
This is a conceptual question testing your understanding of motion graphs!

๐งช Explanation:
Let’s break it down using the basic equations of uniformly accelerated motion:
-
Initial Velocity (u) = 0,
-
Acceleration (a) = constant > 0
Using equations of motion:
-
v = u + at → v ∝ t
-
x = ut + ½at² → x ∝ t²
-
a = constant
✅ Correct Graphs:
-
a-t graph: Should be a horizontal line (since a is constant).
-
v-t graph: Should be a straight line passing through origin (v ∝ t).
-
x-t graph: Should be a curve opening upward, since x ∝ t² (parabola).
-
v-x graph: Should be a square root function, since v² = 2ax ⇒ v ∝ √x.
❌ Incorrect Graphs (Examples):
-
Any flat v-t (implies constant velocity)
-
Any straight-line x-t (implies zero acceleration)
-
Any a-t sloped or curved (implies non-uniform acceleration)

๐ Why This Question Is Important:
-
Very common concept in JEE Mains & Advanced
-
Tests if you understand qualitative physics
-
Helps build graphical interpretation skills
-
Often used to frame tricky assertion-reasoning type questions
๐ง Pro Tip:
Whenever a particle starts from rest and accelerates uniformly:
๐ Displacement curve = parabolic
๐ Velocity-time = linear
๐ Acceleration-time = constant
๐ Always sketch all graphs while practicing to visualize motion better!
