Distance vs. Time and Speed Vs. Time Graphs

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance vs. time graph represent?

Back

An object is at rest.

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is accelerating rapidly.

Front

How do you calculate the distance traveled if you know speed and time?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a speed vs. time graph?

Back

It represents the distance traveled.

Front

What does a flat line on a speed vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Speed - Initial Speed) / Time.

Front

What does a curve on a distance vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and time in a speed vs. time graph?

Back

Speed is plotted on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.

Front

What does the point of intersection between distance vs. time and speed vs. time graphs represent?

Back

It indicates a change in motion.
