Which of the following distance-time graphs shows a truck moving with speed which is not constant?

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

Class 7th NCERT Science 13. Motion and Time

Answer :

In option (iii), the distance time graph is not a straight line, instead it is a curve. The distance time graph for an object moving with a constant speed is straight line. This means that the speed is not constant is changing. So, the distance-time graph of option (iii) shows a truck moving with speed which is not constant.

First of all find the latitude of your city with the help of an atlas. Cut out a triangular piece of a cardboard such that its one angle is equal to the latitude of your place and the angle opposite to it is a right angle. Fix this piece, called gnomon, vertically along a diameter of a circular board a shown in Fig. 13.16. One way to fix the gnomon could be to make a groove along a diameter on the circular board.Next, select an open space, which receives sunlight for most of the day. Mark a line on the ground along the North-South direction. Place the sundial in the sun as shown in Fig. 13.16. Mark the position of the tip of the shadow of the gnomon on the circular board as early in the day as possible, say 8:00 AM. Mark the position of the tip of the shadow every hour throughout the day. Draw lines to connect each point marked by you with the centre of the base of the gnomon as shown in Fig. 13.16. Extend the lines on the circular board up to its periphery. You can use this sundial to read the time of the day at your place. Remember that the gnomon should always be placed in the North-South direction as shown in Fig. 13.16.
