discuses Motion by graphical representation
Answers
A graph is a pictorial representation of the relation between two sets of data of which one set is of dependent variables and the other set is of independent variables.
To describe the motion of an object, we can use line graphs. In this case, line graphs show dependence of one physical quantity, such as distance or velocity, on another quantity, such as time.
Distance Time Graphs
The change in the position of an object with time can be represented on the distance-time graph.
In this graph, time is taken along the x-axis and distance is taken along the y-axis.
Distance time graphs of a moving body can be used to calculate the speed of the body as they specifically represent velocity.
The distance time graph for a body moving at uniform speed is always a straight line as distance travelled by the body is directly proportional to time
