| 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. |

 |
| |
| 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. |
