Question

Describe how different types of motion are represented by distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.

Answer 1

Answer:

non-accelerated movement

velocity versus time  a horizontal straight line.

distance versus time  gives a horizontal straight line.

accelerated motion

graph of velocity versus time s an inclined line and the slope

graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

Explanation:

In kinematics there are two types of steely and non-accelerated movements

In a  the velocity of the body is constant therefore a speed hook against time gives a horizontal straight line.

A graph of distance versus time is a straight line whose slope is the velocity of the body

          x = v t

In an accelerated motion the velocity changes linearly with time, so a graph of velocity versus time is an inclined line and the slope is the value of the acceleration of the body

         v = v₀ + a t

A graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

         x =v₀ t + ½ a t²
