Distance Time Graphs

Front

What is a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does a straight line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

The object is stationary (not moving).

Front

What does a steep slope on a Distance-Time Graph mean?

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a gentle slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving slowly.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a curve on a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

If a Distance-Time Graph shows a line going upwards, what does it mean?

Back

The object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

What does it mean if the line on a Distance-Time Graph goes downwards?

Back

The object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

It represents the distance traveled.
