How to plot your graph. A distance/time graph shows time on one axis (x) and distance on the other axis (y). It is important to plot the important information from the problem.

See how much you know about distance-time graphs by answering the questions below. Question Calculate the speed of the object represented by the green line in the graph, from 0 to 3 s .

With this distance and time value, I can simply plug it into the kinematic equation and solve for the acceleration. This would give an acceleration of 0.1053 m/s 2 .
