PS-5.1: Explain the relationship among distance, time, direction, and velocity of an object. Objectives. Compare and contrast distance and displacement. Use a graph to determine distance and displacement of an object. Use the correct units for distance and displacement.
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 y -axis) and the time (in seconds, minutes, hours etc.) on the horizontal axis ( x x -axis).
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS – PRACTICE QUESTIONS 1. Clive drove to an office for a meeting. After the meeting, he drove straight back home. The distance-time graph below shows his journey. (a) How many kilometres away is the office from Clive’s home? (b) How long was the meeting? (c) How long did it take Clive to drive to the meeting? 2. Danny ...
Linear motion refers to the motion of an object in a straight line. Describing these motions require some technical terms such as dis-placement, distance, velocity, speed and acceleration. The terms and their relationships to one another are described in this module.

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 position is a vector because it has both a magnitude and a direction: it is some distance from a zero point (the point we call the origin) in a particular direction. With one-dimensional motion, we can define a straight line along which the object moves.
