When an object is at rest, its distance−time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis. A straight line parallel to the x-axis in a distance−-time graph indicates that with a change in time, there is no change in the position of the object. Thus, the object is at rest.

If the distance- time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis, the body is in a state of rest.

A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 m s−2. What distance will it cover in 10 s after start?

Given data, Initial velocity, u= 0m/s (body is starting from rest) Time, t = 10s Acceleration, a = 4ms-2 Distance covered, S, S= ut + 1/2 at2 = 0 x 10 + 1/2 ( 4x10x10) = 2x10x10 = 200m. Thus, the distance travelled is 200m
