A person goes to market,makes purchases and comes back at a constant slower speed.Draw displacement-time and velocity time graphs of the person
To draw the displacement-time and velocity-time graphs of the person's trip to the market and their return journey at a constant slower speed, we need some information about the distances and speeds involved. Let's assume the person's trip to the market and the return journey are equal distances.
1. Displacement-Time Graph:
The displacement-time graph shows the person's position or change in position over time. Assuming the person starts at the origin (position = 0) and reaches the market (position = +d) within a certain time, and then returns to the origin, the graph would look as follows:
Y-axis: Displacement (position)
X-axis: Time
________
|
d |
|__/____
Here, the person moves from the origin (position = 0) to the market (position = +d) in a positive direction, as represented by the upward slope. Then, they return from the market to the origin, resulting in a downward slope.
2. Velocity-Time Graph:
The velocity-time graph represents the rate of change of displacement with respect to time or the person's speed. Since the person moves at a constant slower speed, the graph would be a horizontal line at a constant velocity.
Y-axis: Velocity
X-axis: Time
________
|_________
The flat line represents a constant velocity, which indicates that the person is moving at the same slow speed throughout the journey. The line may be positive or negative depending on the direction of motion, such as positive for the trip to the market and negative for the return journey.
Remember that the scales on the axes may vary depending on the specific distances and durations of the trips.
