Distance Time Graph
Distance Time Graph
Distance Time Graph: It is the Graphical Representation of Motion. Graphs are used to represent a relation between two quantities. The value of one quantity is caluculated for different values of the other quantity and is then plotted on the graph. In order to describe the motion of an object, we can use line graphs. In this case, line graphs show dependence of one physical quantity, such as distance or velocity to another quantity, such as time.
Distance and Time Graphs: The distance travelled by the object at equal intervals of time (like every second or every minute), will give a clearer picture of its speed at different points of time. The data of the distance travelled and the time taken can be presented in many ways. One method would be to make a table. The information given in table can also be represented in a graph. This kind of a chart is called a line chart or line graph. It is created by plotting series of data points and connecting them to form a line.
Other commonly used charts are bar graphs and pie charts. They are generally used for representing statistical data
We can get the following points by examining the distance- time graph.
1. The steepness of the slope of the graph gives the speed. If the slope is greater, the speed is greater .
2. The speed is zero if the graph is flat (i.e, parallel to the ‘time’ axis).
If we assume that the vehicle moves at constant speed, i.e, it covers the same distance in equal intervals of time.
Using Motion-Time Graph
On such a linear graph, we generally choose the x-axis as the ‘time axis’ (independent variable) and the y-axis as ‘distance- axis’ (dependent variable)
We plot the distance- time graph be following the steps given below:
1. We choose appropriate scales to represent values of distance and time on the graph. The scale should not be too large or too small.
2. Mark the value for the distance and time on their respective axis, according to the chosen scale.
3. Next mark the points on the graph according to the given set of their values.
4. Join all the points on the graph.
For an object having a uniform motion, the distance – time graph would be a straight line, inclined to the time axis. However, if the speed of the object is changing ( non- uniform motion), the graph can have any shape whatsoever.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

8thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
Manish Kumar
10thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
