Distance Time Graphs Flashcard

Front

What is time in the context of motion?

Back

Time is how long it took the object to travel the distance.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

Constant speed.

Front

How do you find the average speed of an object?

Back

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time taken.
