Question

Represent the following graphically and explain a bit about the representations:
(i) An object at rest
(ii) An object moving with uniform speed
(iii) An object moving with non-uniform speed

Answer 1

i). An object at rest will give no movement on graph along distance axis with the increment in time as shown in graph (a).

ii). An object moving with a uniform speed will cover equal distance in equal time intervals, thus a linear graph as shown in graph (b).

iii). An object with non- unifrom speeed will have unequal distance travelled in equal time intervals, thus it will be curvy or non-straight line as shown in graph (c).
