Graphically, your graph is just that; distance versus time. In general, it gives a position of x at a certain time of t. It should be noted that the slope of the graph at time t is the velocity of the graph at that time t.

What is plotted on a vertical line distance-time graph?

Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.


What do distance time graphs show?

Distance time graph shows the distance an object has traveled with respect to time. Time is plotted on the horizontal axis and distance is plotted on the vertical axis. The slope of the graph at any particular point in time will be equal to the instantaneous velocity at that point in time.


Is plotted on the x-axis on a time distance graph?

Time is plotted on the HORIZONTAL axis. That may or may not be the x-axis. If I choose to call the distance X, then X will be plotted on the vertical axis!


How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?

The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.


Plotted data points representing acceleration in a distance-time graph form a?

instantaneus


If the slope of a line on a distance time graph is 1 the speed of the object plotted is?

constant


What is a graph with time plotted on the x axis and distance plotted on the y axis called?

It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.


In a line graph of motiondistance is plotted against what variable?

Usually against time which is often denoted by the letter t.


How does a graph slowing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?

Yes. One shows speed and the other shows acceleration. The variables are usually plotted against time but that need not be the case. They could be plotted against displacement, for example.


How would you use a distance time graph to calculate the average speed of an object motion?

A distance-time graph is created by placing the distance on the vertical axis with the time placed on the horizontal axis. The values can then be plotted using distance traveled on different intervals.


What is the graph of increasing acceleration?

The graph of increasing acceleration would be a straight line sloping upwards when plotted against time. This indicates that the object's velocity is increasing at a constant rate.


If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1 what is the speed of the object being plotted?

If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1, it means that the speed of the object being plotted is 1 unit of distance traveled per unit of time elapsed. So, if the units are in, for example, meters and seconds, the speed would be 1 meter per second.
