Starting from rest, a body moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration. Describe the nature of the graph relating the displacement with time.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Displacement of the body, that starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration, after a time t is given by
`s = (1)/(2) at^(2) " ""or", t^(2) = (2s)/(a)`
This is the equation of a parabola with vertex at (0,0) and its axis along the displacement axis.
