Distance time graphs

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent when the line is straight and sloped?

Back

Constant Speed

Front

How can you determine the time taken to return to the starting point on a distance-time graph?

Back

Look for the point where the distance returns to zero.

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A higher speed.

Front

If an object travels 10 m in 20 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

0.5 m/s.

Front

What does it mean if the distance-time graph has a curve?

Back

The object is accelerating.

Front

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

Back

Measure the vertical distance at the end of the time interval.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

Distance.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

Time.
