The motion of an object is plotted by four displacement-time graphs. Which of the following graphs given below correctly describes the possible motion of the object?
The motion of an object is plotted by four displacement-time graphs. Which of the following graphs given below correctly describes the possible motion of the object?

CONCEPT:
- Displacement: Displacement is a vector quantity, which is the shortest distance between the initial and final points.
- The unit is in the M.K.S system is ‘meter’.

- Distance: The total path length between two points is called distance.
- Velocity: The rate of change of displacement is called velocity.
- The slope of displacement -time graph (s-t graph) gives velocity.
EXPLANATION:
- For option 1: The s - t graph is a cyclic graph which is not possible because there is no motion in which motion comes back in the time.
- Similarly for option 2, motion comes back in time, which is not possible.
- In option 3, there is no movement in the body with time.
- But in option 4, the body is moving forward with some velocity and acceleration. So option 4 is correct.
