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.)
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
Two different distance-time graphs have matching velocity-time graphs when the slope of the distance-time graph represents the velocity in the velocity-time graph, as velocity is the derivative of distance with respect to time. This means that the steeper the distance-time graph, the greater the velocity on the velocity-time graph at that point.
Distance travelled from a velocity / time graph can be calculated from area under graph, say area under (v/t) graph from 0 - 1 seconds = distance travelled after 1 second, then do 0 - 2 seconds, 0 - 3 etc for set of data for distance / time graph
no it's the ratio of distance to time (ie speed)
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.
distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
distance-time graph
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.
Distance is usually represented on the y-axis of a distance-time graph. The x-axis typically represents time.
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
