for a freely falling object displacement(s)=(1/2)gt^2. (g=acceleation due to gravity)
if an object is given initial velocity(u) then displacement equation is s=ut+(1/2)gt^2.

If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
Instantaneous velocity mean change of displacement in extremely small amount time. (in math way, taking[ lim t--->0 (change in displacements/change in time) ]. instantaneous speed is the same expect displacement change to distance. So,because of very very small change in time, magnitude of distance and displacement will be same for any direction the object is moving.
Displacement is distance from starting point. If the object is always travelling in the same direction then they are the same. If the object turns round, the distance would still be increasing, however the displacement would be decreasing at the same rate.
Of course yes. An object is stationary when the graph is horizontal in a displacement-time graph.
Speed = distance / time.
