Distance-Time Graph for Uniform Motion
 
Take time along x-axis and distance along y-axis.
 
 
Analyse the given data and make a proper choice of scale for time and distance.
 
 
Plot the points.
 
 
Join the points.
 
 
Consider any two points (A, B) on the straight line graph.
 
 
Draw perpendiculars from A and B to x and y axes.
 
 
Join A to C to get a right angled triangle ACB.
 
 
 
 
 
Write the title of the graph.
 
 
Consider another two points P and Q on the graph and construct a right-angled triangle PRQ.
 
 
 
 
Complete Graph
 
 
The distance-time graph is a straight line showing that the motion is uniform. From the distance-time graph (S-t) we calculate the speed.
 
 
 
distance-time graph gives the speed of the moving object.
 
In the second case also we get the speed as 0.66 km/min showing that the speed is uniform.
