Question
The figure show the displacement-time graph for an imaginary one-dimensional motion. Explain why this type of motion is not possible?
✓
Answer
There are two parts of the time-displacement graph in the figure, they are displayed by two vertical lines. It is clear from the figure that the velocity of the object is infinite in two zero intervals since the velocity of an object cannot exceed the speed of light, the time displacement of the object is not correct.
