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.

A displacement is the shortest distance measured .IT is measured in unit of length and distance .But ,,instead of speed velocity is used .

Displacement = velocity /time.

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.


What equals the displacement on a velocity-time graph?

Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.


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.)


Slope of a displacement time graph?

It is the instantaneous speed in the direction in which the displacement is measured.


Is the displacement time graph of a body moving with uniform velocity always a straight line?

A displacement vs. time graph of a body moving with uniform (constant) velocity will always be a line of which the slope will be the value of velocity. This is true because velocity is the derivative (or slope at any time t) of the displacement graph, and if the slope is always constant, then the displacement will change at a constant rate.


What does displacement divided by time give you?

The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.


Is displacement the slope of the velocity vs time graph?

False


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.


Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?

Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.


How to calculate distance from a velocity time graph?

You cannot since the graph shows displacement in the radial direction against time. Information on transverse displacement, and therefore transverse velocity, is not shown. For example, there is no difference in the graph of you're staying still and that of your running around in a circle whose centre is the origin of the graph. In both cases, your displacement from the origin does not change and so the graph is a horizontal line. In the first case the velocity is 0 and in the second it is a constantly changing vector. All that you can find is the component of the velocity in the radial direction and this is the slope of the graph at the point in question.


What does y equals 0 on a displacement- time graph represent?

The displacement, along the direction of measurement, is zero. It need not mean that the object is back at the starting point. The displacement-time graph, measuring the vertical displacement of a ball thrown at an angle, will have displacement = 0 when the ball returns to ground level but, unless you are extremely feeble, the ball will be some distance away, not at its starting point which is where you are. The use of such a graph is not unusual in the elementary projectile motion under gravity.
