The speed-time graph for a car is shown in the following figure:
- Find how far the car travels in the first 4 seconds. Shade the area on the graph that represents the distance travelled by the car during the period.
- Which part of the graph represents uniform motion of the car?
उत्तर
The motion during the first 4 seconds is not uniformly accelerated. So, the distance travelled by car in the first 4 seconds is calculated using the graphical method.
(a) number of squares in the shaded part of the graph is 320.5
One small square m x-axis represents, `t = 2/5 s`
One small square on y axis represents.
`v = 2/3 ms^-1`
∴ area of each square, `v xx t`
= `2/3 xx 2/3`
= `4/15 m`
Total area = `61.5 × 4/15`
= 16.4 m
(b) The limiting flat portion of the curve describes the constant speed of the car, i.e., a speed of 6.0 m s-1. At this stage, the acceleration of the car is zero.
Therefore, a portion of the graph between t = 6 s to 10 s, describes the uniform motion of the car.
