Below is the displacement-time graph of the body made to fall from the top of a tower:
When we observe the graph, we find, that the displacement-time graph is a curve.
Hence, we can say that the motion is non-uniform.
Question
A body at rest is made to fall from the top of a tower. Its displacement at different instants is given in the following table Draw a displacement-time graph and state whether the motion is uniform or non-uniform. Time (in s) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 Displacement (in m) 0.05 0.20 0.45 0.80 1.25 1.80
| Time (in s) | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 0.6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Displacement (in m) | 0.05 | 0.20 | 0.45 | 0.80 | 1.25 | 1.80 |
