3.16 Look at the graphs (a) to (d) (Fig. 3.20) carefully and state, with reasons, which of these cannot possibly represent one-dimensional motion of a particle.
(a) Figure (a) shows two positions at the same time, which is not possible for a one-dimensional motion
(b) A particle cannot have velocity in two directions at the same time in one-dimensional motion
(c) The graph shows negative speed, which is not possible because speed is always positive
(d) Total path length decreases, which is not possible for a one – dimensional motion
