It is used to show Distance Travelled and Time Taken on a graph paper
Here,
Time Taken is shown on x axis
Distance is shown on y axis
Distance Time Graph for Uniform Speed
Suppose an object travells at Uniform speed of 50 km/hour
It means
| Hour |
Distance Travelled
|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 50 |
| 2 | 100 |
| 3 | 150 |
| 4 | 200 |
Plotting it in Graph
We show
Time on x axis
Distance on y axis
Distance Time Graph for Object Moving at Non Uniform Speed
Suppose an object travels at of 30 km/hour in first hour,50 km/hr in second hour,100 km in third hour ,140 km in fourth hour
It means
| Hour |
Distance Travelled
|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 70 |
| 3 | 150 |
| 4 | 200 |
Distance Time Graph in case of Stationary Object
In case of Stationary object,Distance Travelled does not change
Suppose Distance travelled in 1 hour,2 hour ,3 hours remains fixed at 100 km
In this case Distance time graph will be as follows
