Question

draw the position time graph with following data and predict the type ot motion . position of meter:2,8,18,32,58time in seconds 1,2,3,4,5​

Answer 1

To predict:

The position time graph with following data and predict the type of motion. Position (in meter): 2,8,18,32,58

Time (in seconds): 1,2,3,4,5 respectively.

Solution:

I have plotted the graph using DESMOS CALCULATOR , which shows the position along Y axis and time along X axis.

You can see that the slope of the POSITION-TIME graph is increasing with increasing time , this means that the object is increasing its velocity with time.

This means that the object is accelerating , hence the motion is non uniform.

$\boxed{ \red{ \sf \: motion \: is \: non \: uniform , accelerated}}$

• Whenever this kind of graph is provided , always remember that the object (car , etc) is accelerated such that it's velocity is increasing with time.

• Also the position is not changing linearly.
