Question

20 Accelerated motion is represented by a line on a nonlinear distance time graph.

Answer 1

Curved line

Explanation:

Acceleration of motion is represented by a curved line on a non-linear distance-time graph.

The acceleration of a non-linear motion is depicted using a parabola which is a curve. This implies that the velocity is constantly changing and the distance covered by the body is also changing with equal amount of time.

• A plot of this will give a parabola. This can be further established using one of the equations of motion below:

    x = u + $\frac{1}{2}$at ²

This is a quadratic function where:

x is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is acceleration

A quadratic function gives a curved line which is a parabola.
