When displaying a journey, the vertical axis will often represent the distance from a particular place rather than the distance travelled. Such graphs are known as displacement-time graphs.

Constant Acceleration We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the acceleration. In the past, I would do this lab using a specialized drop timer.
