Analyzing Distance-Time Graphs

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

• Mass and time
• Temperature and mass
• Mass and distance
• Distance and time

Can be measured in seconds (s)

• Distance
• Time
• Speed
• Acceleration

Can be measured in meters per second (m/s)

• Distance
• Time
• Speed
• Acceleration

Can be measured in meters (m)

• Distance
• Time
• Speed
• Acceleration

What does this graph represent?

• Constant speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving

What is happening at C?

• Stationary
• Accelerating
• Fast steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position

What is happening at D?

• Stationary
• Accelerating
• Fast steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position

What is happening at A?

• No motion
• Accelerating
• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Steady speed; returning to start position

What is happening at B?

• Stationary
• Accelerating
• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position
• Steady speed; returning to start position

Which runner won the race?

• A
• B
• C
