  • Using following data, draw time displacement graph for a moving object: Time (s) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16

Using the following data, draw a time displacement graph for a moving object:

Time (s)                      0          2          4          6          8          10        12        14        16

Displacement (m)       0          2          4          4          4          6          4          2          0

Use this graph to find the average velocity for the first 4 s, for the next 4 s, and for the last 6 s.

Explanation:-

By using the data given in the table, if we draw the displacement time graph, it will look as shown:

Average velocity is displacement divided by time in any time interval. In the first four seconds, it has traveled four meters hence average velocity will be 1 m/s. For the next four seconds, its position is not changing. This means it is not moving. Hence, its average velocity will be zero.

- In the last six seconds, from t = 10 to t = 16 sec, it has changed its position from 6 m  to 0 m. Hence, in this time interval, displacement is 6 m and time is also 6 seconds.

- Therefore, the average velocity will be 1 m/s.
