The image presents five graphs labeled (1) to (5) showing velocity (v) versus time (t). Below the graphs, a question is posed:"Which of the graphs of velocity versus time describes the motion of a particle with a velocity that is constant and in the negative direction?"There are five options listed for the answer:- Option 1- Option 5- Option 3- Option 2- Option 4**Graph Descriptions:**1. **Graph (1):** A horizontal line above the time (t) axis, indicating constant positive velocity.2. **Graph (2):** A horizontal line on the time (t) axis, indicating zero velocity.3. **Graph (3):** An upward sloping line starting from above the time (t) axis, indicating increasing positive velocity.4. **Graph (4):** A horizontal line below the time (t) axis, indicating constant negative velocity.5. **Graph (5):** A downward sloping line starting from above the time (t) axis, indicating decreasing positive velocity.**Correct Answer:**The correct graph representing constant velocity in the negative direction is **Graph (4)**.

Expert Solution

Step 1

In a velocity vs time graph, a straight line with a slope indicates either a increasing velocity or decreasing velocity.

Mathematically, Velocity is given by

v = Δx/ Δt

i.e the rate of change of displacement is called velocity

Thus, the above formula implies that for increasing velocity the slope is positive, and for decreasing velocity, the slope is negative.

Speaking along the direction of displacement, the y-axis signifies the sense of displacement. Below the x axis, the sense is negative while above the x-axis, the sense is positive.
