Distant time graph

• A distant time graph shows how far an object has travelled in a given time
• What does the gradient of a distant time graph tell us?

  The speed the object is travelling
• A tangent is used to find the acceleration of an object at a point on a curve.
• Object is at constant speed

  
• Object is moving fast

  
• Object is at rest or stationary

  
• Object is moving back to initial position

  
• The formula linking distance, speed, time is speed = distance / time
