Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does a speed of zero indicate on a graph?

Back

A speed of zero indicates that the object is at rest and not moving during the time represented on the graph.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a speed vs. time graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents speed, showing how fast an object is moving.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a speed vs. time graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents time, showing how long the object has been moving.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a horizontal line?

Back

A horizontal line on a graph indicates that the speed is constant; the object is moving at the same speed over time.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a downward slope?

Back

A downward slope on a graph indicates that the object is slowing down or decelerating.

Front

What is the significance of the point where a graph changes direction?

Back

The point where a graph changes direction indicates a change in motion, such as starting to move backward or stopping.

Front

How can you determine when an object is at rest from a graph?

Back

An object is at rest when the graph shows a horizontal line at the speed of zero.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.
