Question

(a) What does the slope of a displacement-time graph
represent?
(b) Can displacement-time sketch be parallel to the
displacement axis ? Give reason to your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• A sloping line on a displacement-time graph shows that the object is moving. In a displacement-time graph, the slope or gradient of the line, is equal to the velocity of the object. The steeper the line (and the greater the gradient) the faster the object is moving
• No, the displacement-times sketch cannot be parallel to the displacement axis. A line parallel to the displacement axis would indicate that the time is at rest, which is not practically possible, as time is not constant

Explanation:

hope it's helpful

Answer 2

Answer:

a. velocity

Explanation :

As ,

Formula of velocity= Displacement/time

b: No, because if it will be parallel to displacement axis it means body is getting displaced with time at rest which is not possible. It can be parallel to time axis but not to displacement axis.
