Distance - Time Graphs Flashcardizz

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph is a visual representation that shows how the distance of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position over time.

Front

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

Back

A straight diagonal line represents constant speed, where the object is moving at a steady rate.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of the object.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on the graph (rise/run).

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph signify?

Back

A downward slope signifies that the object is returning to its starting point.

Front

What is the significance of the origin point (0,0) on a distance-time graph?

Back

The origin point represents the starting position of the object at time zero.

Front

How do you interpret a curve on a distance-time graph?

Back

A curve indicates that the speed of the object is changing; it could be accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What does it mean if the distance remains constant over time on a distance-time graph?

Back

It means the object is stationary and not moving.

Front

How can you find the total distance traveled from a distance-time graph?

Back

Total distance can be found by measuring the total length of the path on the graph.
