Draw (x-t)graph on graph paper which represents a body is travelling with uniform motion.
To draw the (x-t) graph representing a body traveling with uniform motion on graph paper, you need to follow these steps:
1. Label the horizontal axis as "t" for time and the vertical axis as "x" for position.
2. Decide on the scale for both axes, depending on the values you want to represent. For example, if the time values range from 0 to 10 and the position values range from 0 to 100, you can mark each unit as 1 cm.
3. Mark the origin (0,0) at the bottom left corner of the graph paper.
4. Choose a set of time values at regular intervals, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., and mark them on the horizontal axis.
5. For uniform motion, the body will travel at a constant speed. This means that for each second that passes, the body will cover the same distance. So, for example, if the body is traveling at a speed of 10 units per second, it will cover 10 units of distance in each second.
6. Start at the origin and draw a diagonal line with a positive slope from the origin to the second point on the graph corresponding to the distance covered in the first second of time.
7. Continue drawing diagonal lines with the same positive slope for subsequent time intervals, each starting from the last point on the graph and ending at the next point corresponding to the distance covered in that time interval.
8. If the body is traveling in the negative direction, simply draw diagonal lines with a negative slope instead.
9. Connect the points with a smooth curve to represent the continuous motion of the body.
10. If the motion is truly uniform, the resulting graph should be a straight line either ascending or descending at a constant rate, depending on the direction of travel.
Remember to label the axes, units, and any significant points on the graph to provide clarity.
