Question

what type of motion is described by the following graph

Answer 1

speed is constant in the first case

in second case the speed is increasing

Answer 2

Motion in physics is the phenomenon where an object changes its position with concern to time.

In Graph (a)

• The line is horizontal, which means that the object is at rest and has no motion because the distance is not changing with time. Hence, the type of motion described in Graph (a) has no motion and it is at rest.

In Graph (b)

• The line travels with varied readings, which means that the object is moving in a Non-uniform motion. Non-uniform motion is a type of motion in which the object travels at different speeds and thus does not cover the same distance in equal time intervals and irrespective of the time interval duration. Hence, the type of motion described in Graph (a) is Non-uniform motion.
