What feature of a distance time graph represents the direction of motion?

the velocity and acceleration
Not really. The direction is implied by the description of the distance axis, so as you go to the right on the graph it represents greater distance from the point which you have chosen to represent your point of reference. So you could define it for example as the distance east of your start point, or the distance north from your start point, or just the distance in any direction etc. If your description does not specify a direction, then all you can say is how far from the start you are, with no other information on compass direction etc.

Which distance time graph most closley represents an object moving with a uniform motion?
wave
How can you find the direction of motion from a distance x axis and time y axis graph?
You can't. Such a graph is only appropriate for motion in a single dimension.
What do speed and velocity have in common?
If the graph represents the national debt from 1935 to 1950, then it hasnothing whatsoever in common with the velocity of anything.If, however, the graph represents the position of a moving object as time passes, thenthe slope of the graph is numerically equal to the magnitude of the object's velocity,which is also its speed.A graph typically tells nothing about the direction of the object's motion. It it's specificallydrawn to indicate the azimuth (bearing) of the motion at each instant of time, then itsslope is the time derivative of the velocity's direction. I don't know any special catchyterm for that quantity.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
What is the slope that represents no motion in a distance time graph?
flat
What are two velocity components of projectile motion?
The magnitude of its Velocity (Speed), and its Direction. These are the components of the Arrow (Vector) that represents its MOTION.
What does the slope on a distance-time motion graph indicate?
It shows the component of velocity in a radial direction. Any motion in a transverse direction is ignored.
Which physical quantity is measured by the area under velocity time graph?
The distance covered in the direction of motion or the opposite direction. Distance covered in the transverse direction is not included.
When an object accelerate what can it do?
When an object accelerates it can change its speed or direction of motion. When it accelerates without changing its direction of motion, it can cover any distance in less time.
On a graph showing distance versus time a horizontal line represents what about the object?
no motion
Motion is measured by distance divided by time in given direction is called ...?
Velocity.
What does hiusha mean?
the hi represents a high motion - ie lifting in the upwards direction. following on with the usha meaning to penetrate deep in an upwards motion
What occurs when force is applied over a certain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force?
There is exergy. Energy is given out by the motion.
Which distance time graph most closley represents an object moving with a uniform motion?
wave
What is the nature of distance time graph for the motion of an object moving with a changing speed?
An incline represents acceleration, a straight line represents a constant speed and a decline represents slowing down.
What occurs when force is applied over a curtain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force?
earthquakes
