Draw the distance-time graph for an object in motion as per data given in the following table. Time (s) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Distance (m) 0 3 11 30 68 100 240 What do you infer about the forces acting on the object?

The distance-time graph is given below. The slope of a distance-time graph gives the velocity of the body. In the above graph, the slope of the curve increases with time. Hence, the velocity of the object is increasing with time. Since the graph is not a straight line, it indicates that the motion is non-uniform motion. Therefore, the object is accelerating. Whenever a body is accelerated, it is acted upon by unbalanced forces. Note: The forces acting on a body are said to unbalanced if the net force is not zero.
