Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
time, distance
On the horizontal axis you would probably plot the time. On the vertical axis you could plot displacement, velocity or acceleration.
that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
The convention for an x-y graph is as follows: y | | |_____ x where the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.
You put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.

In simple cases, you would put time on the horizontal axis.
In simple cases, you would put time on the horizontal axis.
no motion
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.
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.
