Distance and Time Graphs

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A graphical representation that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

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

Back

The object is stationary (at rest).

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

The object is returning to the starting point.

Front

How can you determine if an object is speeding up on a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope of the graph is increasing.

Front

How can you determine if an object is slowing down on a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope of the graph is decreasing.

Front

What does a constant slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

Distance traveled by the object.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

Time taken for the journey.

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a line that is horizontal, what does it mean?

Back

The object is not moving.
