Distance Time Graphs

Front

What is a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does the slope of a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

The speed of the object; a steeper slope indicates a faster speed.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is stationary (not moving).

Front

How do you calculate speed from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a downward slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is returning to its starting point.

Front

If an object travels 40 meters in 20 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

2 meters per second.

Front

What does the term 'stationary' mean in the context of motion?

Back

Not moving.

Front

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

By measuring the total vertical distance covered on the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

It represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

It represents the time taken for the journey.
