Why time is taken in the X-axis in a distance time graph?
Because time is considered to be the independent variable, with distance being dependent on the time elapsed since some starting point. Also, distance can be treated as function of time but time will not be a function of distance unless the object is always moving away from the initial position. If the object is stationary or returning, the distance-to-time relationship becomes one-to-many which is not permitted for a function.
What is the formula of distance as a function of time?
Since distance is rate multiplied by the amount of time at such a rate, this can be modeled D=rt
What is the formula for distance as a function of acceleration and time?
Distance d=1/2 at2 is the formula.
Is the time you take to go to the library a function of the distance to the library explain why or why not?
Yes, the time taken to go to the library can be considered a function of the distance to the library. In mathematical terms, a function is a relation between a set of inputs (distance) and a set of possible outputs (time taken). As the distance to the library increases, the time taken to travel there also typically increases, assuming a constant speed of travel. This relationship between distance and time aligns with the definition of a function, making it a valid example of a functional relationship.
Will a bus and a car travel the same distance at a same speed in same time?
Yes. Time is a function of distance and speed, and independent of the method of achieving that speed over the distance. time = distance ÷ speed
