What does an object with uniform velocity on a graph look like. 

Please help! i am confused, i have a test in two hours.

[slash1524 74]

And I also don't understand displacement. If the object changes its direction to turn right. What happens?

Please reply fast guys

It depends on what kind of graph you're trying to draw. 

I assume this is from physics...

A Velocity-Time graph has a slope that equals 0 if uniform velocity occurs. That means the speed isn't increasing or decreasing. 

A Distance-Time graph would have a constant slope. 

An Acceleration-Time graph would have a 0 slope that runs along the x axis. 

 

Displacement determines on vectors. It depends on how you label your graph and where your starting point is. Basically, you have to map it out.

can you give an example?

Uh...I don't really remember much, but I'll give it a try. Gimme a couple minutes. 

 

Displacement is only, on an x and y axis, having distance from origin on the y axis and time at the x axis. The displacement is only in terms of 1 direction I think, such as North, East, South and West. 

 

Being that, if you turn one way, I think if you want to make the displacement known, you would need to apply trigonometry. 

 

If it is a 180 degree turn though, it would be the same slope, but negative instead of positive (or vice versa).

 

 

Yeah...I'm a terrible tutor and I don't remember this stuff much :3 Hope someone with a better physics background can answer ^_^

Its a straight graph

 

And I also don't understand displacement. If the object changes its direction to turn right. What happens?

Displacement is not affected since it is the shortest distance between two objects

 

 

Yes ! I know what u will say " You r late for my test !! "

The line is going to be parallel to x axis.

Thnx for the help guys, the test went good. Expecting 94%, lets see what i get.

Resolved, good luck with the results!
