Distance Time Graphs

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A straight line with a positive slope.

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A higher speed.

Front

If an object travels 30 meters in 10 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

3 m/s.

Front

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

Back

The object is returning to its starting position.

Front

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a distance-time graph?

Back

By measuring the vertical distance from the starting point to the endpoint.

Front

What does the area under a speed-time graph represent?

Back

The distance traveled.

Front

If a graph shows an object accelerating, what does that look like?

Back

A curve that gets steeper over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.
