Deading off Distance Time Graphs Distance
Plotting distance against time on agraph can tell us a lot about a journey.
In a distance-time graph, time always runs along the horizontal axis, i.e., the
anddistance runs along the vertical axis, i.e., the y-axis.
Time
The distance-time graph is a horizontal line if the object is stationary, i.e.,
moving. Here the time increases to the right but the distance does not change. Distance
It is a straight line, if the object is moving at a constant speed, i.e., the same distance
is covered in the same time span.
We can calculate the speed of an object by the graph by dividing the distance travelled
Time
by the time.
