Derive the three equations of an object moving at uniform acceleration by Graphical methods.
Answers
Answer:
Graphical method : Consider an object moving along a straight line with uniform acceleration a let u be the initial velocity of the object at time t=0 and v be the final velocity of the object at time t . let s be the distance travelled by the object in time t.
velocity -time graph of this motion is a straight line PQ as shown in the figure
where OP=u=RS
OW=SQ=v and
OS=PR=t
(I) for the first equation of motion : we know that the slope of velocity -time graph of uniformly accelerated motion represents the acceleration of the object
i.e. acceleration = slope of the velocity -time graph PQ
or a=
PR
QR
=
OS

a=

SQ−SR
=

v−u
or v−u=at
or v=u+at .....(i)
This is the first equation of uniform acceterated motion.
(ii) Second equation of motion ; We know that the area under the velocity-time graph for a given time interval represents the distance covered by the uniformly accelerated object in that interval of time.
∴ Distance (displacement) travelled by the object in time t is :
S = area of trapezium OSQP
= area of rectangle OSRP + Area of triangle PRQ
or S=OS×OP+

×PR×PQ
(area of rectangle = length × breadth)
( Area of triangle =

× Base × Height )
=t×u+

×t×(v−u)
(from the first equation of motion v−u=at)
=ut+

×t×at
Thus S=ut+

This is the second equation of uniform accelerated motion.
(iii) Third equation of motion : Distance travelled by the object in time interval t is s = area of trapezium OSQP
=

(OP+SQ)×OS
∵OP=SR

(SR+SQ)×OS........(iii)
Acceleration , a = slope of the velocity -time graph PQ
or a=

or OS=

Putting this value in equation (iii) we get
s=

This the third equation of uniform accelerated motion.
