Distance-Time Graph

The graph shows relationship between two Group

of measurements (or quantities). Three common

Graphs are-

1.Bar graph – Relationship in form of vertical pillars

2.Pie Chart –A division of whole

3.Line Graph-They show relationships in form of a line. The distance-time graphs are line graphs.

There are basic types of line graphs in four situations-

  1. At rest (b) Constant speed

(c) Acceleration (d) Retardation

(De- acceleration)

Points to remember

* Graphs show a correlation between two set of data.

* Distance time graphs show the motion of object. For an object moving with constant speed the distance time graph will be a straight line.

* The object moving with non-uniform speed like increased speed (acceleration) or decreased speed (retardation) then distance time graph will not be straight.
