Explanation / Answer

I did not totally understand the question asked , but attempt to give an answer.

Since the LHS column is titled "Fallen", im assuming that you are describing a free fall of the object.

Also, since the object mass and other simulation conditions are not given, ill assume it . At 100m it hits the ground and stays there(assumption)

Initially

At 0m distance : all graphs are at Zero.

CASE 1: No air resistance

As the object starts falling, then the equations of motion :

S=ut +1/2*at^2;

v=u+at

a=g (constant)

Here,

u=initial velocity (zero in our case)

v=final velocity (linearly dependant on time t)

s=distance (depends as t^2)

So all along the fall:

Distance: Increasing Parabolic curve

Velocity: Increasing straight line

accleration: constant horizontal straight line

and after it has fallen: (i.e at 100m)

Distance: horizontal line at 100m

Velocity: zero

accleration: zero

CASE 2: With air resistance

With air resistance accleration decreases with increasing velocity.

So Before terminal velocity (i.e a=0),

Distance: Increasing parabolic function (slowly tending to be linear)

Velocity: Increasing straight line (tending to be horizontal)

accleration: constant horizontal line slowly dipping to zero.

Once it reaches terminal velocity,

a=0

s=ut

v=constant

So

Distance: increasing straight line

Velocity: constant horizontal line

accleration: Zero

Hope ive answered your query..
