Distance time graphs

Front

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

Back

The y-axis shows the distance traveled by the object.

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled in the first few seconds from a distance-time graph?

Back

By measuring the vertical distance on the y-axis at the corresponding time on the x-axis.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the significance of the origin point (0,0) on a distance-time graph?

Back

The origin point indicates that the object has not traveled any distance at time zero.

Front

How can you identify acceleration on a distance-time graph?

Back

Acceleration is identified by a curve that becomes steeper over time.

Front

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

Back

The slope represents the speed of the object.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled, while displacement is the straight line from the starting point to the endpoint.
