Question

Describe the distance-time graph.

Answer 1

Distance-time equation:

1. A distance-time graph can be used to illustrate the distance (d) travelled by an item moving in a straight line.
2. The gradient of the line in a distance-time graph is equal to the object's speed (s). The quicker the item moves, the higher the gradient and steeper the line.
3. The distance-time equation is,
   $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Speed}=\frac{\mathrm{distance}}{\mathrm{time}} \\ \mathrm{Distance}=\mathrm{speed}\times \mathrm{time} \end{gathered}$$.
4. The distance-time graph is,
