A rocket is ignited and gone up. After that it returns to the ground. How to draw a displacement time of the same ?
To draw a displacement-time graph for a rocket that is ignited and goes up and then returns to the ground, you can follow these steps:
1. Set up your axes: Draw a horizontal line for the time axis (x-axis) and a vertical line for the displacement axis (y-axis).
2. Determine the direction of positive displacement: Since the rocket goes up and then returns to the ground, you can assume that upward displacement is positive. Therefore, place the positive direction above the horizontal line.
3. Mark the time intervals: Determine the time intervals at which you want to plot the displacements. For example, if you want to plot the displacements every second, mark regular intervals along the x-axis with labels like 1s, 2s, 3s, and so on.
4. Plot the displacements: For the rocket initially at the ground, the displacement is 0. At each given time interval, mark the corresponding displacement on the y-axis. As the rocket goes up, the displacement increases, and when it returns to the ground, the displacement should return to 0.
5. Connect the points: After plotting the points, connect them with a straight line. This line represents the rocket's displacement over time.
6. Label your axes: Finally, label the x-axis as "Time (s)" and the y-axis as "Displacement (m)" to provide clarity.
By following these steps, you can create a displacement-time graph for the given scenario of a rocket igniting, going up, and returning to the ground.
