Question
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
Solution
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.

The area under velocity time graph represents ______.
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.
Assertion: The slope of the distance-time graph of a body moving with high speed is steeper than the slope of the distance-time graph of a body with low velocity.
Reason: Slope of distance-time graph = speed of the body.
