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.

Boojho goes to the football ground to play football. The distance-time graph of his journey from his home to the ground is given in the figure.
- What does the graph between points B and C indicate about the motion of Boojho?
- Is the motion between 0 to 4 minutes uniform or non-uniform?
- What is his speed between 8 and 12 minutes of his journey?
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.
