What is a distance-time graph?

Back

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

Front

What does the slope of a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting position.

Front

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

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by looking at the vertical distance on the graph at the end of the time interval.

Front

What is the independent variable in a distance-time graph?

Back

The independent variable is time, which is usually plotted on the x-axis.

Front

What is the dependent variable in a distance-time graph?

Back

The dependent variable is distance, which is usually plotted on the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the time taken to travel a certain distance on a distance-time graph?

Back

To find the time taken, locate the distance on the y-axis and read across to the x-axis to find the corresponding time.

Front

What does a steep slope indicate about an object's speed?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a flat section of a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat section indicates that the object is stationary or at rest.
