Distance-time Graph Practice (M)

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time taken.

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 straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A straight diagonal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in 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 steeper slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of the object.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating from a distance-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the distance-time graph is increasing, the object is accelerating.

Front

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

Back

A curve indicates that the speed of the object is changing; it may be accelerating or decelerating.
