Example 3- Distance-time graphs The distance graph shows the height of a plane as it completes a journey. When the plane is at a height of 38,000 feet (ft) , it travels at a constant speed of 550 ...

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.

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 .
