Distance - Time Graphs

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance-time graph indicate about the motion of an object?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

How do you calculate speed from distance and time?

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken (Speed = Distance / Time).

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

The unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).

Front

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

Back

A flat line represents that the object is at rest (not moving).

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What does acceleration mean in the context of motion?

Back

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / Time.
