Distance travelled versus time |
| When a vehicle is travelling you will notice the odometer recording the kilometres travelled. The faster the vehicle is travelling the faster the odometer will turn over. The faster a vehicle travells the more kilometres it will cover in a shorter period of time. When the vehicle is stationary the odometer no longer turns. We can record the distance travelled on a graph. See below. |
