Question

What is the nature of position time graph for uniform motion

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the distance time paragraph for an object in uniform motion is probably a straight line.

Explanation:

The nature of uniform motion for a velocity-time graph is graphed as a horizontal straight line.

Uniform motion is unaffected by acceleration (line does not curve), which means that it goes up or down in a constant rate on a position-time graph.

Velocity= the slope of a position-time graph.

So, if the motion is constant on a position-time graph then the velocity of the uniform motion is constant on a velocity-time graph.

Answer 2

It is generally a linear graph passing through the origin with positive slope for positive velocity. And negative slope for negative velocity.

Note that the slope of the graph at any point gives velocity at that instant.

If initially that object is not at origin it may have an intercept. That is

S = ut +1/2at^2.compare to y=mx+c.

Where y is S position, u slope or velocity,1/2at^2 initial position.(velocity is zero)
