write three types of displacement and time graph and write your observations
Answers
Answer:
Displacement Time Graph
Have you
encountered the term
displacement? It can be defined as how far is the object from its initial point.
In this graph, displacement is taken as the dependent variable and is represented on the y-axis. In the x-axis, the independent variable is represented as time.
This is also known as the Position-time graph. The three different plots for the Displacement-time graph are given below.
The slope of this graph will always be equal to the velocity of the object at that particular time. The slope can be illustrated as;
S =
displacement
time
=
2-1
Ad
At
=
= velocity
The following points are the takeaway obtained from the displacement-time graph
i. Constant velocity is expressed by a straight line, where at the same time acceleration is expressed as a curved line.
ii. Velocity is equal to the slope.
iii. When an object is at rest, it implies that the slope is zero.
iv. The motion in a positive direction indicates a positive slope.
v. The negative slope implies that the motion is in a opposite direction.
