(N/A) Suppose an object is moving with a constant velocity $u$. Its velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis,as shown in the figure.
The area under the $v-t$ curve between $t=0$ and $t=T$ represents the area of a rectangle with height $u$ and base $T$.
Therefore,the area is given by $\text{Area} = u \times T = uT$,which represents the displacement of the object in this time interval.
The area enclosed above the $t$-axis is considered positive,while the area enclosed below the $t$-axis is considered negative.
It is important to note that while theoretical $x-t$,$v-t$,and $a-t$ graphs may show sharp kinks,in any realistic physical situation,these functions are differentiable at all points,and the graphs are smooth. This implies that acceleration and velocity cannot change values abruptly at an instant; changes are always continuous.

$A$ bullet is shot vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $100\,m/s$ from a certain height. Within $10\,s$,the bullet reaches the ground and instantaneously comes to rest due to a perfectly inelastic collision. The velocity-time curve for the total time $t = 20\,s$ will be: (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

During which time interval is the particle described by these position graphs at rest?

Is the statement 'The slope of a position-time graph can be negative' true or false?

Consider a car initially at rest, starts to move along a straight road first with acceleration $5 \ m \ s^{-2}$, then with uniform velocity and finally, decelerating at $5 \ m \ s^{-2}$, before coming to a stop. Total time taken from start to end is $t = 25 \ s$. If the average velocity during that time is $72 \ km \ hr^{-1}$, the car moved with uniform velocity for a time of: (in $s$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is constrained to move on the $x$-axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example,when the particle is to the left of $E$,$F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F_0$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards the left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0$. The velocity-time graph of the particle is:
