Question

Name the different types of graphs used to represent motion of a body.

Accepted Answer

Distance-Time graph, Displacement-time graph, velocity-time graph, and acceleration-time graph are the common types of graphs used to represent motion of a body.

Distance-Time graph is used to represent the motion of a body. This graph shows the relationship between distance travelled and time taken to cover the distance. When a distance-time graph is showing a straight line, it indicates that the object is in uniform motion. The slope of the distance-time graph indicates the speed of the object. Displacement-time graphs show how the displacement of a moving object changes with time. A horizontal line on a displacement-time graph shows that the object is stationary (not moving because the displacement does not change) A sloping line on a displacement-time graph shows that the object is moving. A velocity-time graph shows the change in the velocity of an object in a straight line with respect to time. Time is the quantity taken along the x-axis, and velocity is taken along the y-axis. Acceleration-Time Graph shows the acceleration plotted against time for a particle moving in a straight line. The acceleration-time plots acceleration values on the y-axis and time values on the x-axis.
