• Here as there is no acceleration the speed of the body would be constantz that is the body will be in a uniform motion.

• So as the body is in uniform motion of will cover equal distances in equal intervals of time and hence the Distance vs Time graph is a straight line.

• And in the second case as there is no acceleration the velocity remains constant and so it would have the same initial and the final speed.

• Due to this the Velocity vs Time graph is a flat line.

Answer 2

$\large{\underline{\underline{\sf{\maltese\:\: \red{Question \: : } }}}}$

It is observed that during the motion of a body, its acceleration is zero.

Draw the Distance - Time and Velocity - Time graph for this situation ?

$\large{\underline{\underline{\sf{\maltese\:\: \pink{Concept \: Used \: : } }}}}$

Let's understand the question first.

Here we are given that the acceleration is zero. It means that the Initial Velocity = Final Velocity .

This can happen only in two situations :-

(i) When the body is in rest.

(ii) When the body is in uniform velocity.
