Distance-time graphs are graphs that show the distance an object or person has travelled against time. They can also be referred to as travel graphs. A distance-time graph will show the distance (in metres, kilometres, miles etc.) on the vertical axis (y -axis) and the time (in seconds, minutes, hours etc.) on the horizontal axis (x -axis).
We're going to look at position versus time graphs, and use them in order to figure out displacement and distance traveled. So this first question says, a 3.2 kilogram iguana runs back and forth along the ground. The following graph shows the horizontal position of the iguana in meters over time.
A distance–time graph shows the distance moved by an object on the vertical axis and the time on the horizontal axis. A straight line on a distance–time graph indicates that an object is moving with constant speed. The steeper the line on a distance–time graph is, the faster the object is moving.
Graphing Position as a Function of Time. A graph, like a picture, is worth a thousand words. Graphs not only contain numerical information, they also reveal relationships between physical quantities. In this section, we will investigate kinematics by analyzing graphs of position over time.
How to read a position vs. time graph. Using the graph to determine displacement, distance, average velocity, average speed, instantaneous velocity, and instantaneous speed. Created by David SantoPietro .
