Plot Distance – time graph for object (a) in accelerated motion (b) uniform velocity

Sure, here's how you can plot Distance-Time graphs for an object in accelerated motion and an object moving with uniform velocity:

1. Accelerated Motion:

   • Step 1: On a graph paper, mark 'Time' on the x-axis and 'Distance' on the y-axis.
   • Step 2: If the object is in accelerated motion, it means the speed of the object is increasing with time. So, the distance covered by the object will also increase with time.
   • Step 3: Start from the origin (0,0) and as time increases, the distance should also increase but not at a constant rate. The graph should be a curve (parabolic), starting from the origin.
   • Step 4: The steeper the curve, the greater the acceleration.

2. Uniform Velocity:

   • Step 1: On a graph paper, mark 'Time' on the x-axis and 'Distance' on the y-axis.
   • Step 2: If the object is moving with a uniform velocity, it means the speed of the object is constant. So, the distance covered by the object will increase at a constant rate.
   • Step 3: Start from the origin (0,0) and as time increases, the distance should also increase at a constant rate. The graph should be a straight line inclined to the time axis.
   • Step 4: The slope of the line indicates the speed of the object. The steeper the line, the greater the speed.

Remember, in both cases, the shape of the graph will depend on the specific values of time and distance that you have.
