Question
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?
Advertisements
Solution
Distance – time graph in the figure shows that initially, the body is in uniform motion i.e. it covers equal distance in equal intervals of time.
From O to A, the body is in uniform motion, and from A to B, the body is at rest.
