The main limitation of a speed time graph is that it represents a measure of radial velocity rather than total speed. Radial velocity is the velocity in a direction away from or towards the point of reference (usually the origin) along some pre-determined direction. Any motion in a transverse direction is ignored. Therefore, if you are going around in a circle about the origin, your distance from the origin is not changing with time. The speed time graph will show you as not moving rather than travelling at a constant speed.
Another example, in which motion is being measured Eastwards (along the x-axis). Each of the following will appear to be the same on a speed-time graph:
- 10 kilometres per hour (kmph) due East
- 10.824 kmph due ENE
- 14.142 kmph due NE
- 26.131 kmph due NNE.
Meanwhile if travelling due North, even motion at the speed of light will not show up at all!

What are the two main types of graphs?
Bar graphs and line graphs.
How do graphs represent motion?
The answer depends on what information is graphed. There are distance-time graphs, velocity-time graphs, speed-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs.
What are 2 graphs that compare 2 sets of data?
Bar graphs can compare two sets of data, as well as line graphs and circle graphs. To better improve my answer, double line graphs and double bar graphs compare two sets of data. Circle graphs cannot however, because they compare parts of a whole instead of, as a bar graph would, the amount of something. A circle graph is also incapable of showing data growth over a period of time, as line graphs do. All in all, circle graphs cannot compare to sets of data, and bar graphs and line graphs must be doubled to do so.
What is the most poplar graph in maths?
Bar graphs and line graphs.
How do mathematicans use graphs?
Mathematicians use graphs to illustrate information.
Do graphs represent equations?
Bar graphs and line graphs do not. Straight line, parabolic, and hyperbolic graphs are graphs of an equation.
How are bar graphs and line graphs and circle graphs different?
circle graphs add up to 100% , bar and line graphs don't
What is a type of graphical graph?
All graphs are graphical graphs because if they were not graphical graphs they would not be graphs!
What are the three types of graphs scientist use?
Pie Graphs, Bar Graphs, and Line Graphs are three graphs that scientist use often.

Bar graphs and line graphs.
