A distance vs time squared graph shows shows the relationship between distance and time during an acceleration. An example of an acceleration value would be 3.4 m/s^2. The time is always squared in acceleration therefore the graph can show the rate of which an object is moving

Distance time graph?
distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
What is a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called?
distance-time graph
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
What is plotted on a vertical line distance-time graph?
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time graph?
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
Why is the distance time graph a straight line for?
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
What does the slope of a time vs distance graph equal?
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
Does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate that an object is stationary?
Object will change distance time graph when speed is changing. Distance time graph don't changed indicate of the stationary.
