Question
Two students were asked to plot a distance-time graph for the motion described by Table A and Table B.
| Table A |
||||||
| Distance moved (m) | 0 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
| Time (minutes) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
| Table B |
||||||
| Distance moved (m) | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |
| Time (minutes) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

The graph given in figure is true for
Options
both A and B.
A only.
B only.
neither A nor B.

Solution
both A and B.
Explanation:
Distance time graph for uniform motion shows a straight line. Slope is the same for both table A and table B.
