For a motion in two dimensional plane, if it follows the parameter equations (with parameter t as time)shown at below. Please derive the trajectory of the motion and briefly discuss what kind of motion it is.

X = 2t
Y = t + 10

Unit for coefficient of 2 and 1 (coefficient for the 1 in equation 2) is m/s, unit for 10 is m and unit for t is s.

X = 2t --- (i)
Y = t + 10 --- (ii)

From (i), we have, t = X2\frac X2 --- (3)

Plug (3) to (2), replace t with X2\frac X2, we get,

Y = X2\frac X2 + 10

This is a linear equation (function)

So the trajectory is linear: Y = X2\frac X2 + 10

when t = 0: X = 0 and Y = 10
t = 1: X = 2 and Y = 11
t = 2: X = 4 and Y = 12

when t = T (T is any arbitiary time)
X = 2T and Y = T + 10

The displacement of the object when t = T relative to the starting point t = 0,

D = [(T+10)10]2+(2T0)2\sqrt{[(T+10) - 10]^2 \, + \, (2T \, - \, 0)^2} = 5T2\sqrt{5T^2} = 5T\sqrt 5 T

Average velocity, V\overline V = Dt\frac{D}{\triangle t} = DT0\frac{D}{T \, - \, 0} = DT\frac DT = 5TT\frac{\sqrt 5 T}{T} = 5\sqrt 5 m/s

So V\overline V does not depend on t.

Hence, it is constant velocy in linear motion.
