Question

What information about the Motion of a body are obtained from the displacement time graph?

Answer 1

Slope of the displacement time graph at any time t gives the velocity of the object at that time t.

Answer 2

Answer:

The information about the motion of the body that can be obtained from the velocity time graph is Velocity.

Explanation:

Displacement time graph — This is a graph showing change in displacement over time.

Let the displacement be S and the time be t then :

Change in S/ Change in t = Velocity.

For a uniform motion, the velocity remains constant.

We can write this as a linear equation below :

S = vt

Where v is the gradient of the displacement time graph.

Therefore the gradient of the displacement time graph gives the velocity.
