Distance time graphs

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

If a bus travels 40 miles in 30 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

1.33 mph.

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

Constant speed.

Front

How do you calculate the average speed between two points on a distance-time graph?

Back

Average speed = (Distance from point A to point B) / (Time taken to travel that distance).

Front

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

Back

A higher speed.

Front

What does a curve on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

Acceleration or deceleration.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

It represents the distance traveled.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

It represents the time taken.

Front

If a graph shows a decrease in distance over time, what does this indicate?

Back

The object is moving backwards.
