To find the speed of an object from a distance-time graph we need to calculate the gradient or slope of the line. FIRST CLICK ON WHAT YOU ARE SOLVING FOR - DISTANCE Enter 180 in the velocity box and choose miles per hour from its menu. The total distance covered by one person or vehicle.
A distance-time graph can be used to represent the speed of an object.
Distance rate x time. ANSWER 60 miles. To find the speed of an object from a distance-time graph we need to calculate the gradient or slope of the line. A distance-time graph shows distance along the y-axis and time along the x-axis.
