(1) 11-25-24 Distance time graphs

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed or velocity of the object.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line represents that the object is at rest (not moving).

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

Define velocity in the context of distance-time graphs.

Back

Velocity is a measurement of how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the rate of distance traveled, while velocity includes both speed and direction.

Front

What does a constant slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A constant slope indicates that the object is traveling at a constant speed.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating from a distance-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the graph is increasing, the object is accelerating.

Front

What does a curve on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A curve indicates that the speed of the object is changing.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a steeper slope mean compared to a less steep slope on a distance-time graph?

Back

A steeper slope means the object is moving faster than an object with a less steep slope.
