Question

Draw motion diagram for (a) an object moving to the constant speed, (b) an object moving to the right and speeding up at a constant rate, (c) an object moving to the right and slowing down at a constant rate, (d) an object moving to the left speeding up at a constant rate, and (e) an object moving to the left and slowing down at a constant rate, (f) How would your drawing change if the changes in speed were not uniform, that is, if the speed were not changing at a constant rate?

Answer 1

Hint: To solve the above question we will draw various diagrams according to the given conditions in the questions. We will draw a box to denote the object and the black arrows to denote the speed of the object. Also, we will use arrows to show the direction of moving objects.

Complete step-by-step solution:
In the question given here we have to draw the diagram of different motion of an object.
a) First, we have to draw the diagram of an object moving at constant speed that means there is no change in the speed of the object. Let us now draw the diagram of the above given motion.

Here, the object is denoted by box and the speed of the object is given by the arrow which is constant that is no change
b)For the second part we have to draw the diagram of the object that is moving towards right direction and is speeding up with a constant rate

Here, the box is the object and black arrows denote the speed of the object which is increasing constantly. Also we have to show the direction of the object is right that’s why we have the arrows that are below the box in the right direction.
c)In the third part we have to show that the object is moving in the right direction but the speed is slowing down at constant speed.

Here, the box denotes the object and black arrows denote the speed which is constantly decreasing, which means the speed of the object is going down. The arrows below the box show the direction of the object towards the right direction.
d)In this part we have to draw the diagram of object moving in left direction with constant speed

The box is moving in the left direction with a constant speed
e)In the fifth part we have to draw a diagram in which the object is moving in the left direction and the speed of the object constantly slows down.

f) Here we have to show that how the drawing would differ if the speed was not constant, for that the size of the arrows would differ.

Note: Note: Always remember that if the speed of the given object is increasing constantly that means the acceleration of the object is constant and if the speed of the given object is decreasing at constant rate that means the object is retarding constantly.
