- What does the distance-time graph represent?
- Motion
- Explanation: A distance-time graph is used to represent the motion of an object by plotting distance against time.
- What type of motion is represented by a straight line in a distance-time graph?
- Uniform
- Explanation: A straight-line graph in a distance-time representation indicates that the object is moving with uniform speed.
- Which physical quantity is represented by the slope of a distance-time graph?
- Speed
- Explanation: The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object as speed is the rate of change of distance with respect to time.
- What will be the shape of the graph if an object is at rest?
- Horizontal
- Explanation: If an object is not moving, its distance remains constant, resulting in a horizontal line in the distance-time graph.
- What type of curve does a distance-time graph show for non-uniform motion?
- Curved
- Explanation: In non-uniform motion, an object covers unequal distances in equal time intervals, forming a curved graph.
- In a distance-time graph, which axis represents time?
- X-axis
- Explanation: Conventionally, time is always taken along the x-axis while plotting a distance-time graph.
- In a distance-time graph, which axis represents distance?
- Y-axis
- Explanation: Distance is taken along the y-axis in a distance-time graph to show how the object’s position changes over time.
- What does a steep slope in a distance-time graph indicate?
- Fast
- Explanation: A steep slope on a distance-time graph means that the object is moving with a high speed.
- What does the area under a distance-time graph represent?
- Nothing
- Explanation: Unlike velocity-time graphs, the area under a distance-time graph has no physical significance.
- What does a changing slope in a distance-time graph indicate?
- Acceleration
- Explanation: A changing slope signifies that the object is either accelerating or decelerating, indicating non-uniform motion.
