Question

The given figure is a velocity time diagram for which of the follower motion?

(a) Simple harmonic

(b) Uniform acceleration

(c) Uniform velocity

(d) Uniform retardation

I had been asked this question in my homework.

My question is from Velocity and Acceleration Diagrams in portion Cams of Machine Dynamics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Uniform velocity

Explanation: The given figure is the velocity time diagram of the uniform velocity motion of the follower with initial dwell. This is a constant curve as the velocity relation does not change with time.
