Front

What does a constant speed mean?

Back

Constant speed means an object is moving at the same rate without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What does increasing speed mean?

Back

Increasing speed means an object is moving faster over time.

Front

What does decreasing speed mean?

Back

Decreasing speed means an object is slowing down over time.

Front

What is a graph in motion studies?

Back

A graph visually represents the relationship between distance and time, showing how an object's motion changes.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest (no motion).

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What does a flat slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A flat slope indicates constant speed; the object is moving at a steady rate.
