Q. The phase space diagram for a ball thrown vertically up
from ground is

Solution:

Momentum is first positive but decreasing. Displacement
(or say position) is initially zero. It will first increase. At
highest point, momentum is zero and displacement is
maximum. After that momentum is downwards (negative)
and increasing but displacement is decreasing. Only (d)
option satisfies these conditions.
