What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed decreases?
Time is on the x axis and distance is on the y axis. There will be a curve starting at zero (presumably) and going upwards towards the right. The slope of the line at any given x value equals the speed at that point in time. Thus the slope will decrease at the same rate that speed decreases.
If speed is constant but the time of the travel ends up being less what must have happened to the distance traveled?
. The distance decreased.
How does distance vary with time?
However you like. For some things distance does not vary at all - or not measurably so eg between London and New York. For objects under simple harmonic motion (such as a pendulum) the distance increases and decreases (according to quite a simple formula). For the archetypal drunken walk (or Brownian motion) the distance is random.
What kind of graph shows increases or decreases over time?
Line graphs show increases or decreases in something over time.
Does an inclined plane increase the distance over which a force is applied?
Yes, but it also decreases that force.
