उत्तर
When an object is at rest, its distance-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis.

A straight line parallel to the x-axis in a distance-time graph indicates that with a change in time, there is no change in the position of the object. Thus, the object is at rest.

What can you say about the motion of an object if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
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?
Fill in the following blank with suitable word :
The slope of a distance-time graph indicates ………………….. of a moving body.
Fill in the following blank with suitable word :
The slope of a speed-time graph of a moving body gives its………………………..
The graph given alongside shows the positions of a body at different times. Calculate the speed of the body as it moves from :
(1) A to B,
(2) B to C, and
(3) C to D.

If we denote speed by S, distance by D and time by T, the relationship between these quantities is ______.
Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house is 9 km. Bholu has to attend Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. He started from his home at 6 o’clock on his bicycle and covered a distance of 6 km in 40 minutes. At that point, he met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 minutes and reached Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. With what speed did he cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.
The slope of the distance-time curve is steeper/greater is the ______.
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.
