Speed Time and Distance Time Graphs

Front

What does a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A speed-time graph represents how speed changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates constant speed.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does an upward slope on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is speeding up.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a speed-time graph signify?

Back

A steeper slope signifies a greater change in speed over time.

Front

How can you determine the acceleration from a speed-time graph?

Back

Acceleration can be determined by the slope of the line on the speed-time graph.

Front

What does a curve on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A curve indicates that the speed is changing at a varying rate.

Front

What does it mean if the speed-time graph returns to the horizontal axis?

Back

It means the object has stopped moving.

Front

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

Back

The total distance can be found by calculating the area under the speed-time graph.

Front

What is the significance of the area under the curve in a speed-time graph?

Back

The area under the curve represents the total distance traveled.
