Detailed explanation-1: -A sloping line on a distance-time graph shows that the object is moving. In a distance-time graph, the slope or gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The steeper the line (and the greater the gradient) the faster the object is moving.
Detailed explanation-2: -So the slope of the distance-time graph gives us speed.
Detailed explanation-3: -time graph reveals pertinent information about an object’s velocity. For example, a small slope means a small velocity; a negative slope means a negative velocity; a constant slope (straight line) means a constant velocity; a changing slope (curved line) means a changing velocity.
Detailed explanation-4: -A distance-time graph tells us how far an object has moved with time. The steeper the graph, the faster the motion. A horizontal line means the object is not changing its position-it is not moving, it is at rest. • A downward sloping line means the object is returning to the start.
