Question

Draw the velocity-time graph for.
a) Uniform motion

b) Uniformly accelerated motion

c) Uniformly retarded motion

Answer 1

a) During uniform motion the acceleration of the body is 0 therefore the velocity time graph for a uniform motion is a graph line parallel to the time axis where slope (i.e acceleration) = 0

b) During uniformly accelerated motion the graph is a straight line passing through the origin with a constant slope.

c) During uniformly retarded motion the graph is a straight line downwards which shows decreasing velocity at a uniform rate.
