. Speed is scalar quantity. SI unit of speed is m/..

Consider an object moving with a uniform velocity u in a straight line. Let it be given a uniform acceleration a at time t = 0 when its initial velocity is u. As a result of the acceleration, its velocity increases to v (final velocity) in time t and s is the distance covered by the object in time..

Let 'u' be the initial velocity of an object and a be the acceleration produced in the body. The distance travelled 'S' in time 't' is given by the area enclosed by the v - t graph. Graphical Derivation of Third Equation S = area of the trapezium OABD. ..

The distance-time graph is a straight line showing that the motion is unifor..

Now, let us see the nature of distance-time graph for a non-uniform motion. The following table gives the distance covered by a bus after every 15 minutes. Distance covered in Km 0 5 15 20 25 30 35 Time in Minutes 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 From the above ta..

Distance in km 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Time 10.00 am 10.15 am 10.30 am 10.45 am 11.00 am 11.15 am 11.30 am Take time along x-axis and distance along y-axis. Analyse the given data and make a proper choice of scale for time and dista..

The rate of change of position of a particle in a particular direction gives the velocity of the particle. It may also be defined as the time rate of change of displacement of a particle. Velocity is a vector quantity. A motion is said to be uniform if the particle covers equal distances..

Zero acceleration - In this case, the velocity-time graph is parallel to the time-axis, as shown in the figur..

Position-time graph for uniform motion - The rate of change of position of a particle in a particular direction gives the velocity of the particle. It may also be defined as the time rate of change of displacement of a particle. Velocity is a vector quantity. A motion ..
