What is the nature of the distance-time graph for the motion of an object?

Asked by KaterineMundorf

Answer (2)

That kind of depends on the motion of the object. The graph is drawn in order to illustrate the nature of the object's motion, and they're all different. If they were all the same, then graphs would be boring, and nobody would draw them anymore.

A distance-time graph shows the relationship between distance traveled and time taken, illustrating various motion characteristics. Key features include straight lines for constant speed, horizontal lines for rest, and curved lines for acceleration. Analyzing the slope and shape of the graph helps determine speed and changes in motion.
