Thus, distance or displacement by the object is equal to the area of the rectangle (shaded) ABCD. Since given object is moving with constant velocity along a straight line, thus displacement will be equal to distance covered. Therefore, Distance or Displacement = velocity X time interval.

Explanation:

Distance-time graph is the plot of distance travelled by a body against time. So it will tell us about the journey made by a body and its speed. Below is an example of a distance-time graph, if it is a straight horizontal line than the body is stationary, its speed is zero, if the line is diagonal than its moving with a constant speed and if it is anything other than a straight line then the speed is varying.

Distance-Time Graph for Uniform Motion

Let us now consider a distance-time graph in which the body is moving with uniform motion. A body is said to be in uniform motion when the body covers the equal distance in equal time intervals. Let’s consider a time interval of 1 second, If a body covers 10 meters in the first 1-second then it should cover 10 meters in every second from there on, this will indicate that the body is in uniform motion. Let’s draw a graph for uniform motion.

As in uniform motion, the distance time graph would be a straight line, because the equal distance is covered in equal units of time.

Distance Time Graph

You can see that there are three bodies A, B and C, all of them are in uniform motion then why do they have different slopes?

It is because the slope of a distance-time graph determines the speed of that body, so steeper the slope greater will be the speed of the body. From the above graph, we can come to a conclusion that body A has the highest speed and body C has the least speed.
