Distance-Time Graphs

The gradient (slope) of the line in a distance-time graph, gives us the _________ the object is travelling

• speed

• distance

• time

• acceleration

In a distance time graph, a flat line means

• the object is not moving

• the object is accelerating

Why does the curved part that is pointed out in the video represent acceleration?

• Because the gradient (slope) is increasing so the speed is increasing.

• Because the gradient (slope) is decreasing so the speed is increasing.

An decreasing gradient (slope) shows

• acceleration

• deceleration
