Time is on the x- axis in most cases. give the people more information if you need a specific type of graph.
it is called a motion graph
You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.
For uniform motion, the position-time graph will be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating a constant velocity.
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
the distance time graph will show a linear or a straight line
flat
From a velocity-time graph, you can calculate the acceleration by finding the slope of the graph at a certain point. The area under the graph represents the displacement of the object. You can also determine the direction of motion based on the slope of the graph (positive slope indicates motion in one direction, negative slope indicates motion in the opposite direction).
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
To find the direction of motion from a distance x axis and time y axis graph, look at the slope of the graph. A positive slope indicates motion in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates motion in the negative direction. A horizontal line indicates stationary motion.
Position-Time GraphYou can graph motion on a position vs time graph. On a position vs time graph, position is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis. If the velocity is constant, the graph will be a straight line and the slope is average velocity. If the motion is accelerating, the graph will be a curved line.Velocity-Time GraphYou can also graph motion on a Velocity-Time graph. On a velocity vs time graph, velocity is on the y-axis, time is on the x-axis. If the graph is a straight line, velocity is constant and the slope is average acceleration. Also, on a velocity vs time graph, the area under the line is displacement.Refer to the related link for illustrations of the different graphs of motion and their meanings.
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
