The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the position-time graph for a particle moving with a constant velocity, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information The particle starts at position \( x = 5 \, \text{m} \) and moves with a constant velocity \( v = 2 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Set up the equation of motion Since the particle is moving with constant velocity, we can use the equation of motion: \[ x(t) = x_0 + vt \] where: - \( x(t) \) is the position at time \( t \), - \( x_0 \) is the initial position, - \( v \) is the constant velocity, - \( t \) is the time. ### Step 3: Substitute the known values Given that \( x_0 = 5 \, \text{m} \) and \( v = 2 \, \text{m/s} \), we substitute these values into the equation: \[ x(t) = 5 + 2t \] ### Step 4: Analyze the equation The equation \( x(t) = 5 + 2t \) is a linear equation in the form \( y = mx + c \), where: - \( m \) (the slope) is \( 2 \), - \( c \) (the y-intercept) is \( 5 \). ### Step 5: Draw the graph 1. The y-intercept (where \( t = 0 \)) is at \( x = 5 \, \text{m} \). 2. The slope of the line is \( 2 \), which means for every 1 second that passes, the position increases by \( 2 \, \text{m} \). 3. Thus, the graph will be a straight line starting from the point \( (0, 5) \) and rising with a slope of \( 2 \). ### Step 6: Identify the characteristics of the graph - The graph is a straight line with a positive slope. - The line crosses the y-axis at \( 5 \, \text{m} \). ### Conclusion The position-time graph of the particle is a straight line starting at \( (0, 5) \) and rising with a slope of \( 2 \).
