Front

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

Back

Distance and time

Front

What does a flat line on a distance vs. time graph represent?

Back

Not moving

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

Return Home (negative slope)

Front

What does point D represent in a distance vs. time graph?

Back

Fast steady speed; moving away from the starting position

Front

Find the speed when a tricycle travels 200 kilometers in 8 hours.

Back

25 km/h

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

Constant Speed (positive slope)

Front

If a graph shows increasing distance over time, what type of motion is represented?

Back

Acceleration (increasing speed)

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Kilometers per hour (km/h) or meters per second (m/s)

Front

What does it mean if the distance vs. time graph is a straight line?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.
