Question

Give the relation between distance and time:
(a) When a body is moving with a uniform velocity.

Answer 1

Step 1: Distance and uniform velocity definition

1. The distance travelled for a moving object is simply the measure of the whole path travelled by the particle.
2. When a body moves at a constant rate throughout an equal period of time, it is moving at uniform velocity.

Step 2: Finding the relation between distance and time

1. When a body moves with a uniform velocity, it does not change speed or direction during travel.
2. The body covers an equal distance in an equal time interval in a specific direction.
3. So, the relation between distance and time is proportional.

Hence, the relation between the distance covered remains proportional to the time.
