Distance-Time Graph Practice

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph shows how the distance of an object changes over time, illustrating the object's speed and motion.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, showing increasing distance over time.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point, showing decreasing distance over time.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, meaning the object is covering more distance in less time.

Front

What is constant speed in a distance-time graph?

Back

Constant speed is represented by a straight line with a positive slope, indicating that the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

How can you tell if an object is accelerating on a distance-time graph?

Back

Acceleration is shown by a curve that gets steeper over time, indicating that the object is increasing its speed.

Front

What does it mean if a distance-time graph has a curve?

Back

A curve on a distance-time graph indicates that the object's speed is changing, either accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the significance of the origin point (0,0) on a distance-time graph?

Back

The origin point represents the starting position of the object at time zero.

Front

How can you identify when an object is stopped on a distance-time graph?

Back

An object is stopped when the graph shows a horizontal line, indicating no change in distance over time.
