Question

Explain the distance time graph in detail.​

Answer 1

If an object moves along a straight line, thedistance travelled can be represented by adistance-time graph. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Distance-time graphs

If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance-time graph.

In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

Example

Calculate the speed of the object represented by the green line in the graph, from 0 to 4 s.

change in distance = (8 - 0) = 8 m

change in time = (4 - 0) = 4 s

Speed = distance/time

Speed =8/4

Speed = 2m/s
