Distance Time Graphs and SPEED

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 higher speed.

Front

What is speed?

Back

How much distance is covered over a period of time.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

If a car travels 200 kilometers at a speed of 55 km/hr, how long does it take?

Back

3.6 hours.

Front

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

Back

The object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What is the formula to find distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.
