What is the nature of the distance-time graphs for uniform and non-uniform motion of an object ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the motion is uniform, the distance-time graph is a straight line with some slope.
When the motion is non-uniform, the distance time graph is not a straight line. It can any curve.

  • PASSAGE-I : A body is said to be in motion when its position changes continuously with respect to a stationary object taken as reference point. A body has a uniform motion if it travels equal distance in equal intervals of time, no matter how small these time intervals may be. The distance-time graph for uniform motion is a straight line. A body has a non-uniform motion if it travels unequal distance in equal intervals of time. The distance-time graph for a body having non-uniform motion is a curved line.

    What dies the tangent at apoint to the position-time graph for an object in non-uniform motion along a straight line represent?

    Assertion : Velocity-time graph for an object in uniform motion along a straight path is a straight line parallel to the time axis. Reason : In uniform motion of an object velocity increases as the square of time elapsed.
