The nature of displacement-time graph is parabolic if the acceleration is constant(uniform).
When acceleration is constant, displacement is directly proportional to the square of time which results into a parabolic structure of graph.

∙ 8y agoThe question is based on a misconception. The displacement-time graph of a point travelling from the origin (O), in a straight line at a constant velocity (v) is a straight line through the origin with gradient = v. The graph for an object going from O to a point A and returning immediately is a triangle. If that object spends some time at A, then the graph is a trapezium. The graph for an object travelling in a circle around O - at a constant or variable angular velocity - is a horizontal line. None of these graphs could be described as parabolas.

What equals the displacement on a velocity-time graph?
Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.
Slope of a displacement time graph?
It is the instantaneous speed in the direction in which the displacement is measured.
What is the condition of the position-time graph when the velocity-time graph passes through zero?
As, in the velocity-time graph, curves passes through zero means 'when time is zero velocity is zero'. Velocity is time derivative of displacement. So displacement is maximum or minimum when time is zero in position-time graph.
What variable is placed on the x axis in a displacement time graph?
It is time.
Can you tell from a displacemnt-time graph wheather an object is stationary?
Of course yes. An object is stationary when the graph is horizontal in a displacement-time graph.
What is a displacement time graph?
A displacement time graph is a graph that consists of an x and y axis using displacement, by time.
How do you get displacement from a displacement graph?
To get displacement from a displacement graph, just look at the Y- axis for the particular time (displacement versus time). For the displacement graph, the Y-axis is usually displacement.
The slope of a displacement-time graph is?
The slope at each point of a displacement/time graph is the speed at that instant of time. (Not velocity.)
What equals the displacement on a velocity-time graph?
Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.
Slope of a displacement time graph?
It is the instantaneous speed in the direction in which the displacement is measured.
The graph of a cubic is called a parabola?
No. Parabola and the cubic graph are definitely two different things.
What does displacement divided by time give you?
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
The graph of a quadratic equation is called a?
The graph of a quadratic equation is called a parabola.The graph of a quadratic equation is called a parabola.The graph of a quadratic equation is called a parabola.The graph of a quadratic equation is called a parabola.

It is time.
Velocity is the slope of a displacement vs time graph true or false?
False. The slope of a velocity vs time graph is acceleration
Can you tell from a displacemnt-time graph wheather an object is stationary?
Of course yes. An object is stationary when the graph is horizontal in a displacement-time graph.
