Question

When the distance travelled by an object is directly proportional to the time, it is said to travel with:
1. Uniform velocity
2. Zero velocity
3. Constant speed
4. Constant acceleration

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Constant speed

The correct answer is Constant speed.

• Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time and its surroundings.
• The motion of an object can be uniform or non-uniform based on its velocity(whether is constant or changing).
• Distance covered by a body is the actual length of the path travelled the body.
• The distance travelled by a body in unit time is called speed.

 

• When the distance travelled by an object is directly proportional to the time, it is said to travel with constant speed.
• An object is said to be in uniform speeds when the object travels equal distances in equal interval of time.
• Uniform and non-uniform motions of objects can be shown through graphs.
• The speed of an object can be determined from the distance-time graph.
• The velocity of an object is the displacement per unit time.
• The acceleration of a moving object is the rate of change in velocity.
