Plot and interpret a distance-time graph for a body moving with constant speed?
An object moving with constant speed:
The speed of an object is said to be constant if it covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. The distance-time graph as shown in the figure is a straight line.
Its slope gives the speed of the object.
Consider two points A and B on the graph.
Speed of the objects = slope of line AB= $\frac{Distance \: EF}{Time\: CD} =\frac{20m}{10s} =2 \frac{2m}{s}$
The speed found in the graph is 2 ms-1
