प्रश्न
What can you say about the motion of an object if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The object is moving uniformly.

A straight line parallel to the time axis in a speed-time graph indicates that, with a change in time, there is no change in the speed of the object. This indicates the uniform motion of the object.
