When displaying a journey, the vertical axis will often represent the distance from a particular place rather than the distance travelled. Such graphs are known as displacement-time graphs.

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph close distance-time graphA graph with distance travelled plotted on the vertical axis against time taken on the horizontal axis. shows that the object is ...

If you look back at our model, you can see that we are plotting distance (x) versus time squared (t 2) and these two should be proportional with the constant of (1/2)a.

The side-by-side tool format features two airplanes (each flying at a constant speed) on merging jet routes, the corresponding distance-vs.-time graphs, and the corresponding linear equations.

Time vs Distance Running: How to Choose the Right One for You? When comparing time versus distance running, know that “both ways can be very, very beneficial,” says Phillips.
