Time Distance Graphs

Front

What is a Time Distance Graph?

Back

A graphical representation that shows the relationship between time and distance traveled by an object.

Front

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

Back

The object is at rest; it is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a Time Distance Graph represent?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a curved line on a Time Distance Graph signify?

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a Time Distance Graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated by finding the slope of the line on the graph.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a Time Distance Graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What does a flat line followed by a steep line represent?

Back

The object was at rest for a period and then started moving quickly.

Front

What does it mean if the graph returns to the starting point?

Back

The object has returned to its original position.

Front

How can you tell if an object is moving backward on a Time Distance Graph?

Back

If the line slopes downwards from left to right, the object is moving backward.

Front

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

Back

It indicates a change in the object's motion, such as stopping or reversing.
