Distance-time and Speed-time graphs

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A straight line that slopes upwards or downwards, indicating that the speed does not change over time.

Front

What does acceleration mean in a speed-time graph?

Back

A curve that slopes upwards, indicating that the speed is increasing over time.

Front

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

Back

An object that is at rest, meaning it is not moving.

Front

How can you identify the runner with a head start on a distance-time graph?

Back

The runner whose line starts higher on the graph than the others.

Front

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

Back

A high speed, meaning the object is covering a lot of distance in a short amount of time.

Front

What does a flat line on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

Constant speed, meaning the object is moving at the same speed over time.

Front

How do you determine the greatest speed on a speed-time graph?

Back

By identifying the highest point on the graph.

Front

What does a downward slope on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

Deceleration, meaning the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does the area under a speed-time graph represent?

Back

The total distance traveled by the object.
