Question

Nature of displacement-time graph for constant acceleration.


Open in App
Solution

Displacement-time graph for constant acceleration:

  1. Whenever a body starts at rest and proceeds in a straight line with such a uniform acceleration (a), its displacement (x) in time (t) equals x=12at2, which corresponds to a parabola equation.
  2. As a result, the displacement-time graph for a body traveling at constant speed is a parabola.
Draw distance time graph of a body moving with constant acceleration.
