Question
Which of the following figures (Fig. 8.3) represents uniform motion of a moving object correctly?
Options
Solution
In uniform motion, object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. Therefore, the distance-time graph must be a straight line inclined to the time axis. Hence, graph (a) is correct.
