How do you use a graph to show someone's motion?
By using the distance, speed, and acceleration, to show on the graph the constant speed of each car
What does the slope of a distance uersus time graph show you about the motion of an object?
acceleration.
What is a distance vs time 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
This graph helps to show the relative sizes of quantities under different conditions?
bar graph.
How can you use a graph to show acceleration?
With great difficulty. Acceleration is a vector and that means that it has a direction as well as a magnitude (size). For motion in a plane, the only effective way to show acceleration is to draw lots of arrows from points at regular intervals in a plane such that the length of the arrow is a measure of the magnitude of the acceleration and the direction of the arrow coincides with that of the acceleration. An answer referring to a speed-time graph is totally incorrect. That measures speed in the radial direction only. All apects of motion (displacement, speed, acceleration) in a transsverse direction are completely ignored.
