How to do graphical representation of motion?

A distance-time graph is used to represent the change in position of an object with respect to time. Here, the X-axis shows the time and the Y-axis shows the distance. For uniform motion, the distance covered by an object is directly proportional to the time taken.

How do we graph motion?

Time is always plotted on the X-axis (bottom of the graph). The further to the right on the axis, the longer the time from the start. Distance is plotted on the Y-axis (side of the graph). The higher up the graph, the further from the start.

How is motion shown by a graph?

The slope of a position vs. time graph represents the object's velocity: A straight line (constant slope) means the object moved with constant velocity, and a curved line (changing slope) means the object accelerated.

How do you describe motion graphically?

Motion in a position-time graph is relative to the starting position and depicted by the direction of the line on the graph, or slope. A positive slope describes movement or velocity in a positive direction, while a negative slope describes movement or velocity in a negative direction.

What is the meaning of motion graph?

Since these magnitudes are functions of time, they can be represented in a graph where the independent variable (horizontal axis) is time. Graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration against time are called motion graphs.

How do you graph motion?

Time is always plotted on the X-axis (bottom of the graph). The further to the right on the axis, the longer the time from the start. Distance is plotted on the Y-axis (side of the graph). The higher up the graph, the further from the start.

How to represent motion graphically?

Position of an object with time can be represented by a distance-time graph. The slope of the distance-time graph gives us the speed of an object. Distance-time graphs can be made by considering two situations, either the object moves with a uniform speed or with non-uniform speed.
