What feature of a distance time graph represents the direction of motion?
the velocity and acceleration Not really. The direction is implied by the description of the distance axis, so as you go to the right on the graph it represents greater distance from the point which you have chosen to represent your point of reference. So you could define it for example as the distance east of your start point, or the distance north from your start point, or just the distance in any direction etc. If your description does not specify a direction, then all you can say is how far from the start you are, with no other information on compass direction etc.
What is position - time graph?
A position-time graph, is one in which position is plotted on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis. A position-time graph is similar to a distance-time graph, but direction of motion in the y-axis.
What information does the slope of a velocity time graph provide?
The information given by the slope of ("on") a distance-time graph is the SPEED. The size ("magnitude") of the slope is the size of the speed and the units of the distance axis are divided by the units on the time axis to give the units of the speed ... so if your distance is in miles and time is in hours then your speed will be in miles per ("divided by") hours (mph)... but if distance is in metres and time is in seconds then the speed is in metre per second (m/s).
What is distance - time graph?
A graph that shows displacement plotted against time for a particle moving in a straight line. Let x(t) be the displacement of the particle at time t. The distance-time graph is the graph y=x(t), where the t-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical with the positive direction upwards. The gradient at any point is equal to the velocity of the particle at that time. (Here a common convention has been followed, in which the unit vector i in the positive direction along the line has been suppressed. The displacement of the particle is in fact a vector quantity equal to x(t)i, and the velocity of the particle is a vector quantity equal to x(t)i.)
How do you go from a position graph to a velocity graph?
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.
How can you graph projectile motion?
Y axis equals altitude and X axis is distance.

What is a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis called?
A graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called adistance-time graph. Time is directly proportional to time because as the direction increases, so does time.
When you graph the motion of an object you put on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis speed time?
time, distance
What variable goes on the y axis of a motion graph?
Distance from some fixed point.
When you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
What is position - time graph?
A position-time graph, is one in which position is plotted on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis. A position-time graph is similar to a distance-time graph, but direction of motion in the y-axis.
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 a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called?
distance-time graph
When motion of an object is shown by a straight line on a distance-time graph with distance on the y-axis the slope of the line is?
The constant acceleration
How would you show motion of an object on a line graph?
To show motion of an object on a line graph, you can plot the position of the object on the y-axis against time on the x-axis. The slope of the line connecting the points on the graph represents the speed of the object. Steeper slopes indicate faster motion, while flatter slopes indicate slower motion.
What can you say about the motion of an object whose distance time graph is a straight parallel to the time axis?
object is at rest
