Time is on the x- axis in most cases. give the people more information if you need a specific type of graph.

What is a speed and time graph called?

it is called a motion graph


How can graphs be used to represent motion?

You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.


What will be the nature of position - time graph for uniform motion?

For uniform motion, the position-time graph will be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating a constant velocity.


How do you know there is no motion on a distance time-graph?

distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion


What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?

A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.


What is the nature of distance time graph for uniform motion of an object?

the distance time graph will show a linear or a straight line


What is the slope that represents no motion in a distance time graph?

flat


What can you calculate from velocity time graph?

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).


What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is changing?

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.


How can you find the direction of motion from a distance x axis and time y axis graph?

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.


Graphical representation of 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.


Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?

If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
