Question

Physics questions. Answer 2-5

2- Esplaln the significance of the slope ofa postion v time graph Incude s discussion of postive and negative slope. 3. What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs. time graph is zero? 4. What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs. time graph is constant? 5. What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs. time graph is changing?

Answer 1

1. Slope of position time graph give us the velocoty of the particle .

If slope is negative then this means that position is decreasing with time and hence velocity of particle is negative and if slope is positive means particle position is increasing with time and hence velocity is positive.

2. When slope of position time graph is positive then particle is moving in forward dorection or its velocity is positive.

3. When slope of position time graph is zero then this means particle is not changing its position with time or the velocity of particle is zero.

4. When slope is constant means particle is covering equal distance in equal interval of time or its velocitu is constant
