The motion of a body towards and from some fixed point. It can also be used to find the acceleration (or deceleration) in the same direction or the total distance from the fixed point in the direction of motion.
But the graph gives no information at all on motion in any other direction. So, the horizontal displacement of a rocket going straight up would always be 0!

How can graphs be used to represent motion?
You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.
How is a distance time graph be used?
To find the average speed or rate of something.(:
Which units could you use for the y-axis of a graph of speed time to display the motion of an automobile?
A time graphs units is what is used for the y-axis. This is what show the speed in time.
Can a graph be used to determine the number of solutions an equation has?
Yes.
A pair of numbers used to determine the posittion of a point on a graph?
coordinates
What kind of graph shows an object's speed?
Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.
Sketch a distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?
It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.
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.
How can graphs be used to represent motion?
You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.
What type of graph is used for acceleration?
Speed-Versus-Time, Distance-Versus-Time.
What is the type of graph used to show the speed of an object?
speed graph

Is a pair of numbers used to determine the position of a point on a graph?
On a 2-D graph, a pair of numbers are used to determine the position of the point on a graph.
The speed of a car moving with constant speed equals the slope of the line representing the cars motion on a distance time graph?
acceleration A motion such as the one above further illustrates the important principle: the slope of the line on a velocity-time graph is equal to the acceleration of the object. This principle can be used for all velocity time to determine the numerical value of the acceleration.
What graph would you use to determine something?
Any graph can be used to determine something!
Acceleration can be found by computing the slope of a vs. time graph.?
velocitymy answer isIt may be both speed/velocity.We can find acceleration from speed vs time graph when the path followed by the body is a perfect straight line and when the speed of body goes on incresing and in all othercases velocity time graph is used to measure aceleration.
Which units could you use for the y-axis of a graph of speed time to display the motion of an automobile?
A time graphs units is what is used for the y-axis. This is what show the speed in time.
