Question

What is the significance and uses of graphical representation of motion? Derive second and third equation of motion by graphical method.

Answer 1

By graphical representation we can understand uniformity and non uniformity of motion

Answer 2

Graphical representation of motion is useful to the study the nature of motion of bodies. In this type of representation time is plotted along X-axis while distance or velocity is plotted along Y-axis.

The uses of graphical representation of motion are:

1. From distance-time graph the position of the body at any instant of time can be determind.

2. The velocity of the body at any instant of time can be determined.

3. By simply looking at the graph, one can tell whether motion is uniform or not.
