Plot distance vs time. Distance should be the y-axis, time the x-axis
parabolic graphs where f(t)=xi + vt + 1/2at^2 f(t) = distance travelled, xi = starting distance, v = starting velocity, t = time elapsed, and a = acceleration.
Distance - Time shows speed (by gradient) and distance travelled over a given time. Speed - time shows acceleration and instant speed.
graphs
A velocity-time graph is often a misnomer since it is, in almost all cases, a graph showing the component of velocity in the direction towards and away from a fixed point of reference. The graphs do not usually included any information on the motion in a perpendicular direction. Therefore, a straight line in a "velocity"-time graph indicates that there is no acceleration in the radial direction.
Yes, but only in terms of measures from and away from the "origin". Information of all motion in the transverse direction is lost.
Constant acceleration motion can be characterized by motion equations and by motion graphs. The graphs of distance, velocity and acceleration as functions.
They use graphs to interpret their data.
Descriptive axis labels and legends
The answer depends on what information is graphed. There are distance-time graphs, velocity-time graphs, speed-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs.
to learn more easily
They give a visual interpretation of the data.
Graphs visualize data allowing the brain to interpret a large data set quickly and infer trends.
No.
The best way to make graphs that are easy to interpret is using a suitable scale.
