What can you say about nature of motion of a body if it's displacement time graph is a curve?
the body is in accelerated motion.
What is a speed time graph used to determine?
The motion of a body towards and from some fixed point. It can also be used to find the acceleration (or deceleration) in the same direction or the total distance from the fixed point in the direction of motion. But the graph gives no information at all on motion in any other direction. So, the horizontal displacement of a rocket going straight up would always be 0!
What graphs can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
The expected answer - of either a position time graph or a speed time graph - is wrong. That is because these take account of motion in the line joining the origin to the moving body but not any motion in a transverse direction.
What is the nature of the distance time graphs for a body at rest?
As the body is at rest, its distance from some point is not changing, so the graph will be a straight line parallel to the time axis (including the possibility of being on the time axis).
What can you say about motion of a body who's distance time graph is straight line parallel to X axis?
distance = speed x time the speed is the slope of the line which if parallel to X axis is zero - that means speed = 0 and distance is not changing with time, so the object is at rest ( not moving) relative to the observer
What can you say about the motion of a body if it's velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined with the time-axis?
uniformly accelerated motion
What can you say about the motion of a body if its displacement time graph is a straight line?
The object is moving at a constant speed.

What will you say about motion of body if distance time graph is straight line having constant angel with time axis?
If the distance/time graph is a straight line that makes a constant angel with the time axis, then the body's speed is constant, and is equal to the slope of the straight line (tangent of the constant angel).
What can you say about the motion of a body if its velocity- time graph is a straight line?
A velocity-time graph is often a misnomer since it is, in almost all cases, a graph showing the component of velocity in the direction towards and away from a fixed point of reference. The graphs do not usually included any information on the motion in a perpendicular direction. Therefore, a straight line in a "velocity"-time graph indicates that there is no acceleration in the radial direction.
What can you say about nature of motion of a body if it's displacement time graph is a curve?
the body is in accelerated motion.
What is the difference between linear motion and random motion?
Linear Motion is motion of object/body along a straight line.Random Motion is the motion of an object/body along a disordered or irregular line.
What would be the shape of speed time graph of a body moving with variable speed?
Distance-time graph will show a straight line with a positive slope. Speed-time graph will show a horizontal line at the uniform speed. Acceleration-time graph will show a horizontal line at a = 0.
What is meant by motion in straight line?
path traced by the body is in the form of straight line
Why is a body in a straight line to remain moving in a straight line?
It is due to its inertia of motion
What is a speed time graph used to determine?
The motion of a body towards and from some fixed point. It can also be used to find the acceleration (or deceleration) in the same direction or the total distance from the fixed point in the direction of motion. But the graph gives no information at all on motion in any other direction. So, the horizontal displacement of a rocket going straight up would always be 0!
What would be the shape of a speed time graph of a body moving with variable speed?
If a body is moving with variable speed, then the only thing you can say aboutits speed/time graph is that the graph is not a straight, horizontal line.
