But I don't understand how to draw distance-time from velocity-time graph
To plot a distance-time graph from a velocity-time graph, you will need to use the formula d = vt, where d represents the distance, v represents the velocity, and t represents the time. First, plot the time on the x-axis and the velocity on the y-axis. Then, using the formula, calculate the distance for each point and plot it on the graph. Connect the points to create the distance-time graph.
The relationship between a velocity-time graph and a distance-time graph is that the slope of a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration, while the slope of a distance-time graph represents the velocity. This means that the velocity-time graph is the derivative of the distance-time graph.
Yes, a distance-time graph can have negative values. This would indicate that the object is moving in the negative direction, or in the opposite direction of the positive direction on the graph.
To calculate the velocity from a distance-time graph, you will need to find the slope of the graph. This can be done by selecting two points on the graph and using the formula for slope, which is rise over run (change in distance over change in time). The resulting value will be the velocity at that point on the graph.
A distance-time graph shows the total distance traveled by an object over a given time, while a displacement-time graph shows the change in position of the object from its starting point over a given time. This means that a displacement-time graph can have both positive and negative values, while a distance-time graph can only have positive values.
