Distance time graphs

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph is a visual representation that shows how distance changes over time. The x-axis represents time, while the y-axis represents distance.

Front

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

Back

In a distance-time graph, the y-axis represents the distance traveled.

Front

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

Back

In a distance-time graph, the x-axis represents time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest, meaning it is not changing its distance over time.

Front

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

Back

A straight diagonal line indicates constant speed, meaning the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates changing speed, meaning the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope of the line in a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point, or it is returning.

Front

What is the importance of labeling axes in a graph?

Back

Labeling axes is important because it provides clarity on what each axis represents, helping to interpret the data accurately.
