Distance time graphs

Front

What does segment A-B on a distance-time graph indicate about the bus?

Back

The bus is at rest.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

A measurement of how fast an object is moving with direction.

Front

What is the speed of segment A on the distance-time graph?

Back

3 m/s.

Front

What does it mean when a car is coming back on a distance-time graph?

Back

The graph will show a decreasing distance over time, indicating the car is returning to its starting point.

Front

How can you identify a car traveling at a constant speed on a distance-time graph?

Back

The graph will show a straight line with a positive slope.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a distance-time graph?

Back

By calculating the total vertical distance covered on the graph.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).
