JEE Main 2 April 2017 (offline), Physics Q2

Question 2 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 2 of 30.

A body is thrown vertically upwards. Which one of the following graphs correctly represent the velocity vs time ?

The figure, in words

Four v-t graphs as options (v on vertical axis, t on horizontal axis, arrowheads indicating direction of traversal).
  1. (1)[figure: v vs t graph, straight line from origin rising to a peak then falling linearly to the t-axis, arrows along the line]
  2. (2)[figure: v vs t graph, line starting positive above the t-axis falling to zero and continuing as a mirrored line to negative v, with arrows]
  3. (3)[figure: v vs t graph, single straight line starting at positive v on the v-axis and decreasing through the t-axis to negative v]Official answer
  4. (4)[figure: v vs t graph, V-shaped: v decreases linearly to zero then increases, touching the t-axis]

Question text from the official JEE Main paper published by NTA (CBSE ran the 2017 exam); answer from the final answer key. Chapter, topic and idea tags, difficulty and skill are Lumi’s. This question needs a figure we do not reproduce; it is described in words above. Lumi analyses 42 of the 174 JEE Main shifts held from 2017 to 2026.
