The speed-time graph of an object is a straight line. Which of the following statements can be concluded? A- The motion of the object is a uniform motion B- The object is at rest C- The motion of the object is a non uniform motion.  Correct Answer B or C 

Concept:

Motion:

  • A body is said to be in motion if its position changes continuously with respect to the surroundings with time.
  • The motion of an object could be uniform or non-uniform depending on whether its velocity is constant or changing.
  • Uniform and non-uniform motions of objects can be shown through graphs.
  • The speed of an object is the distance covered per unit of time.

Uniform Motion:

  • It is a motion in which a material point moves in a straight line at a uniform speed.

Non-uniform Motion:

  • It is a motion in which the velocity varies with time.

Explanation:

  • The change in the position of an object with time can be represented on the speed-time graph.
  • When the speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis then, the object is at rest and also moves at non-uniform speed.

​Key Points

  • In a distance-time graph, for uniform speed, a graph of distance traveled against time is a straight line and the motion of the object is uniform.

Read both the statements and choose the most appropriate answer. How many person standing between Kamal and Luvkush in a straight line of 15 persons (Note: all are standing in a straight line facing north) I) Shiv stands eleventh from the right end of the line. Luvkush stands exactly at the center of the line. There are as many persons to the right of Kamal as there are to the left of Shiv. II) Ram stands fourth from the left end of the line. Shiv sits to the immediate right of Ram.. Only two person stand between Luvkush and Shiv, who is left of Luvkush. Only two person Stand between Kamal and Shiv.
Statement (I): Two  non-intersecting and non-parallel, i.e., non-coplanar, shafts connected by gears are called skew-bevel gears or spiral gears, and this type of gearing has a line contact the rotation of which about the axes generates the two hyperboloid pitch surfaces. Statement (II): A hyperboloid is a 3D surface formed by revolving a straight line about an axis (not in the same plane), such that every point on the line remains at a constant distance from the axis.
