Question

Show the shape of the distance-time graph for the motion in the following case: A car moving with constant speed.

Answer 1

Distance-time graph for car moving with constant speed

1. The distance-to-time ratio determines speed i.e. $S=\frac{D}{t}$ , where $S$ is the speed and $D$ is the distance travelled in time $t$.
2. A car moving with constant speed covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. This is a uniform motion.
3. Distance-time graph is given as follows:
