Yes, there are velocity graphs, (velocity being on the y axis and time being on the x axis). However, these graphs are not to be mixed up with position verses time graphs. On a velocity verses time graph, (the units for velocity being m/s), an object at rest is plotted as a straight line along the horizontal axis. This shows that time is progressing, but there is no motion of the objest. Uniform motion is also plotted as a straight line, but must be placed someplace above the horizontal axis. Acceleration and decceleration on a velocity vs time graph are represented by diagonal lines unlike the curved lines on a position verses time graph

What is the importance of uniform acceleration graph in physics what is instantaneous velocity?

Uniform acceleration graphs help visualize how an object's velocity changes over time. They show a constant rate of change in velocity, which can be used to calculate properties like displacement and time. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time, representing the object's speed and direction at a given instant.


What are the nature of the distance time graphs for uniform and non unifrm motion of an object?

A distance-time graph for an object moving at a constant velocity will be a straight line - the gradient of the line corresponds to the velocity. Non-uniform motion will cause the gradient of the line to change.


What is the difference between uniform velocity and on uniform velocity?

I assume you mean "non-uniform". "Uniform" simply means that the velocity (in this case) doesn't change.


When do two different distance-time graphs have matching velocity-time graphs?

Two different distance-time graphs have matching velocity-time graphs when the slope of the distance-time graph represents the velocity in the velocity-time graph, as velocity is the derivative of distance with respect to time. This means that the steeper the distance-time graph, the greater the velocity on the velocity-time graph at that point.


How do graphs represent motion?

The answer depends on what information is graphed. There are distance-time graphs, velocity-time graphs, speed-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs.


What is the formula for uniform velocity?

velocity is a vector quantity. Its magnitude is given by (velocity)= (distance)/(time)


What is the acceleratipn of a body with uniform velocity and why?

The acceleration of a body with uniform velocity is zero because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is constant, then there is no change in velocity over time, so the acceleration is zero.


How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?

If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.


What is the difference between uniform and variable velocity?

Uniform velocity is constant speed in a straight line, while variable velocity changes in speed or direction over time. Uniform velocity has no acceleration, whereas variable velocity may have acceleration due to changes in speed or direction.


Why is acceleration zero with uniform velocity?

Uniform velocity means the velocity is not changing. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If velocity isn't changing, the rate of change is zero.


What is varaible velocity?

Non uniform velocity is known as variable velocity.


An example of uniform motion in a straight line in which velocity is changing at uniform rate?

An object moving along a straight line with increasing velocity in a uniform manner is an example of uniform motion with changing velocity at a uniform rate. This could occur if a car accelerates at a constant rate along a straight road.
