A graph that shows displacement plotted against time for a particle moving in a straight line. Let x(t) be the displacement of the particle at time t. The distance-time graph is the graph y=x(t), where the t-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical with the positive direction upwards. The gradient at any point is equal to the velocity of the particle at that time. (Here a common convention has been followed, in which the unit vector i in the positive direction along the line has been suppressed. The displacement of the particle is in fact a vector quantity equal to x(t)i, and the velocity of the particle is a vector quantity equal to x(t)i.)
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
Distance travelled from a velocity / time graph can be calculated from area under graph, say area under (v/t) graph from 0 - 1 seconds = distance travelled after 1 second, then do 0 - 2 seconds, 0 - 3 etc for set of data for distance / time graph
no it's the ratio of distance to time (ie speed)
A position-time graph, is one in which position is plotted on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis. A position-time graph is similar to a distance-time graph, but direction of motion in the y-axis.
A graph is constructed such that time (in hours) is the x-variable and distance (in miles) is the y-variable. If you plot the distance that a car travels on the graph traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, what is the slope of the graph?
distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
distance-time graph
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
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.
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.
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
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
