What do you understand by the displacement$-$time graph ? Draw a displacement-time graph for a girl going to school with uniform velocity. How can we calculate the uniform velocity from it ?

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

In the displacement-time graph, the time is taken on the $x -$axis and the displacement of the body is taken on the $y -$axis. Since

Velocity $=$ Displacement $/$ Time,

therefore, the slope of the displacement-time graph gives the velocity. For example, a girl is going to school on a straight path in a given direction with a uniform speed. The velocity of the girl can be obtained by finding the slope of the straight line $OP.$

The velocity of the girl can be calculated as below

$v=\frac{ BC }{ AC }=\frac{ ED }{ GF }=\frac{(40-20)}{(4-2)}=10 m s ^{-1}$
