Distance Time Graphs

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph represents the relationship between distance traveled and time taken, showing how far an object has moved over a period.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is stationary (not moving).

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates acceleration, meaning the object is speeding up or slowing down.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed; the object is covering more distance in less time.

Front

What does a flat line followed by a steep line indicate on a distance-time graph?

Back

This indicates that the object was stationary for a period and then started moving at a constant speed.

Front

How can you tell if an object is moving back towards the starting point on a distance-time graph?

Back

If the line slopes downwards towards the time axis, it indicates the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What does the point where the graph intersects the time axis represent?

Back

The point where the graph intersects the time axis represents the starting position of the object.

Front

What does a line that slopes downwards from left to right indicate?

Back

A line that slopes downwards indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting position.

Front

What is the significance of the 'B' point on a distance-time graph?

Back

Point 'B' can indicate a specific moment in time where the object may be stationary or moving at a certain speed.
