Question

how to represent types of motion on graphs? like rectilinear motion, projectile motion etc.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Graphical Representation of Motion

Using a graph for a pictorial representation of two sets of data is called a graphical representation of data. One entity is represented on the x-axis of the graph while the other is represented on the y-axis. Out of the two entities, one is a dependent set of variables while the other is independent an independent set of variables.

We use line graphs to describe the motion of an object. This graph shows the dependency of a physical quantity speed or distance on another quantity, for example, time.

Distance Time Graph

The distance-time graph determines the change in the position of the object. The speed of the object as well can be determined using the line graph. Here the time lies on the x-axis while the distance on the y-axis. Remember, the line graph of uniform motion is always a straight line.
