Q. Which of the following curves represents the $v-t$ graph of an object falling on a metallic surface and bouncing back?

Motion in a Straight Line

Solution:

When an object falls down its acceleration is downwards and constantly $g$. Its velocity is downward. On bouncing its velocity is upward but acceleration is still downward and constantly $g . v-t$ graph should have same slope in both phases of motion, one half must be positive velocity and the other half must be negative velocity.
