Line segment CD has a positive slope, indicating that velocity is increasing with time, which is accelerated motion. Line segment AB has a negative slope, indicating that velocity is decreasing with time, which is decelerated motion.
In the given velocity (V) versus time (t) graph, accelerated and decelerated motions are respectively represented by line segments

- A uniform meter scale of mass 0.24 kg is made of steel. It is kept on two wedges, W₁ and W₂, in a horizontal position. W₁ is at a distance of 0.2 m from one of its ends, while W₂ is at distance of 0.4 m from the other end. If the force on the scale is N₁ due to W₁ and N₂ due to W₂, then : (take g = 10.0 m s⁻²) Ans: C For a uniform meter scale of mass 0.24 kg, its of mass, which is at the 0.5 m mark from either end. W₁ is at 0.2 m from one end (say, the 0m mark), and W₂ is at 0.4 m from the other end (the 1m mark), For equilibrium, the sum of upward forces equals the sum of downward forces (N₁ + N₂ = W = 2.4 N), and the sum of torques about any point is zero. Taking torques about the point W₁ (at 0.2m), the weight W (at 0.5m) creates a clockwise torque W = N₂ 0.4 Nm. Setting the sum of torques to zero: N. Substituting N₂ into the force equation: N₁ + 1.8 330. Which one of the following about different frictional forces is correct?
