Kendal Whitney · Answer 1

This distance - time graph indicates acceleration because in this graph, there is a change in the position of an object or change in the final and initial position with time. it may be in positive value if it accelerates or may be in negative value if object decelerates, because acceleration is a vector quantity.

because speed can change overtime for a car, and isn't always constant.
