A woman starts from her home at 9.00 am, walks with a speed of 5 km h on a straight road up to her office 2.5 km away, stays at the office up to 5.00 pm, and returns home by an auto with a speed of 25 km h. Choose suitable scales and plot the (x-t) graph of her motion.
Solution:
From home to office : Time at which she leaves home for the office. speed distance Therefore, time taken to reach the office, Thus, time at which she reaches her office = 9.30 am. Between 9.30 am to 5 pm, she remains in her office i.e. at a distance of 2.5 km from her home. From office to home : Time at which she leaves her office = 5 pm. Speed distance Therefore, time taken to reach the home, Therefore, time at which she reaches her home = 5.06 pm.Hence, (x-t) graph of her motion will be as shown in figure.
