Show the shape of the distance time graph for the motion in the following cases:

(i) A car moving with a constant speed


(ii) A car parked on a side road


(i) Since a car is moving with a constant speed, so the motion will be a uniform motion and the time will vary proportionally with distance. The distance time graph for motion of an object with constant speed is a straight line. So, the graph of distance time for a car moving with a constant speed will be as follows:



(ii) Since a car parked on a road side will n’t be in a motion and therefore there will be no variation in distance.
