प्रश्न
What can you say about the motion of a body whose distance-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis ?

उत्तर
The body is not moving because it is not changing its position with respect to any stationary 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?
The speed-time graph for a car is shown in the following figure:
- Find how far the car travels in the first 4 seconds. Shade the area on the graph that represents the distance travelled by the car during the period.
- Which part of the graph represents uniform motion of the car?
What does the slope of a distance-time graph indicate ?
Four cars A, B, C and D are moving on a levelled, straight road. Their distance-time graphs are shown in the given figure. Which of the following is the correct statement regarding the motion of these cars?
Figure (a) shows the displacement-time graph for the motion of a body. Use it to calculate the velocity of the body at t = 1 s, 2 s and 3 s, and then draw the velocity-time graph in Figure (b) for it.

A spaceship is moving in space with a velocity of 60 kms−1. It fires its retro engines for 20 seconds and velocity is reduced to 55 kms−1. Calculate the distance travelled by a spaceship in 40 s, from the time of firing of the retro- rockets.
The slope of the distance-time graph at any point gives______.
What are the uses of the graphical study of motion?
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.
