Graphical Representation of Motion

Which type of graph represents motion using distance and time?

  • Distance-time graph
  • A distance-time graph shows how an object’s position changes over time.

Which type of graph represents motion using velocity and time?

  • Velocity-time graph
  • A velocity-time graph represents the change in velocity over time, helping to analyze acceleration.

What is the shape of a distance-time graph for uniform motion?

  • Straight line
  • In uniform motion, the object covers equal distances in equal intervals, resulting in a straight-line graph.

What is the slope of a distance-time graph equal to?

  • Speed
  • The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object.

What is the shape of a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration?

  • Straight line
  • For uniform acceleration, velocity changes at a constant rate, forming a straight-line graph.

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

  • Displacement
  • The area under a velocity-time graph gives the displacement of the object.

Which graph can be used to determine acceleration?

  • Velocity-time graph
  • The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.

What is the shape of a distance-time graph for an object at rest?

  • Horizontal line
  • If an object is at rest, its distance remains constant, resulting in a horizontal line on the graph.

What is the shape of a velocity-time graph for an object moving with constant velocity?

  • Horizontal line
  • When velocity is constant, the velocity-time graph remains a straight horizontal line.

What is the acceleration of an object if the velocity-time graph is a straight horizontal line?

  • Zero
  • A straight horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates no change in velocity, meaning acceleration is zero.
