Distance & speed vs. Time Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance vs. time graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving; its distance remains constant over time.

Front

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

Back

A straight diagonal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a curve on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A curve indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance vs. time graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis on a distance vs. time graph?

Back

The x-axis represents the time elapsed.
