(ALL OF THE ABOVE) The given $x-t$ graph,shown in $(a)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because a particle cannot have two positions at the same instant of time.
The given $v-t$ graph,shown in $(b)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because a particle can never have two values of velocity at the same instant of time.
The given speed-time graph,shown in $(c)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because speed is a scalar quantity and cannot be negative.
The given total path length-time graph,shown in $(d)$,does not represent one-dimensional motion of the particle. This is because the total path length (distance) travelled by a particle can never decrease with time.

In what different ways can the velocity of an object be changed?

$A$ drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,followed again by $5$ steps forward and $3$ steps backward,and so on. Each step is $1\; m$ long and requires $1\; s$. Plot the $x-t$ graph of his motion. How long (in $s$) does the drunkard take to fall into a pit $13\; m$ away from the start?

$A$ particle moves along the sides $AB, BC, CD$ of a square of side $25 \, m$ with a constant velocity of $15 \, m \, s^{-1}$. Its average velocity is ........ $m \, s^{-1}$.

At time $t=0$, a particle leaves the origin and moves in the positive direction of the $X$-axis. If the velocity of the particle varies as $v(t)=v_0(1-t/t_0)$, where $|v_0|=10 \ m/s$ and $t_0=10 \ s$, then the distance covered by the particle during the first $20 \ s$ is: (in $m$)
