Question

if an object is moving with constant speed then its distance time graph will be a straight line. a) along time axis b) along distance axis c) parallel to time axis d) inclined to time axis plz what the correct option ????

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is option d

Explanation:

because the formula of distance = speed into time

when speed is constant....

so the straight line will pass diagonally from the origin which means it is inclined to the time axis...

hope this helps....

Answer 2

The distance-time graph of an object moving at a constant speed will be a straight line inclined to the time axis. (option d)

• In the given situation the distance covered will be increasing gradually with respect to time as the speed is constant.
• So the object will cover equal distance in equal intervals of time. In such a case the object is said to be in uniform motion.
• Also, mathematically

       Distance = speed × time

    ⇒ speed = distance/time

                    = tanθ

                    = slope of the graph

• So the slope of the graph will give us the speed of the object.

Hence, we can conclude that if an object is moving with constant speed then its distance-time graph will be a straight line inclined to the time axis.
