What is the nature of the distance-time graphs for uniform and non-uniform motion of an object?
A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h−1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h−1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
What does the slope of a distance-time graph indicate ?
What conclusion can you draw about the speed of a body from the following distance-time graph ?

What can you say about the motion of a body whose distance-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis ?
Name the two quantities, the slope of whose graph give speed .
A cyclist is travelling at 15 m s-1. She applies brakes so that she does not collide with a wall 18 m away. What deceleration must she have ?
Complete the data of the table given below with the help of the distance-time graph given in the figure.
| Distance (m) | 0 | 4 | ? | 12 | ? | 20 |
| Time (s) | 0 | 2 | 4 | ? | 8 | 10 |

Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
What do you infer if
- Distance – time graph is a straight line.
- The velocity-time graph is curved.
- Displacement time is zigzag.
