Distance-time Graph Practice

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph represents the relationship between distance traveled and the time taken to travel that distance.

Front

What does a constant speed look like on a distance-time graph?

Back

A constant speed is represented by a straight line with a positive slope on a distance-time graph.

Front

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

Back

Average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for distance in physics?

Back

The unit of measurement for distance is meters (m).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for time in physics?

Back

The unit of measurement for time is seconds (s).

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position over time.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of the object.

Front

What is the significance of point A in a distance-time graph?

Back

Point A typically represents the starting position of the object at time zero.

Front

What does it mean if the distance-time graph has a downward slope?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting position.

Front

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

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by measuring the vertical distance from the starting point to the endpoint on the graph.
