Distance time graphs Practice

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph is a visual representation that shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is stationary and not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

A gentle slope indicates that the object is moving slowly.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

The speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on the graph (speed = distance/time).

Front

What does it mean if the line on a distance-time graph is curving upwards?

Back

A curving line upwards indicates that the object is accelerating.

Front

What does it mean if the line on a distance-time graph is curving downwards?

Back

A curving line downwards indicates that the object is decelerating.

Front

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

Back

A vertical line indicates that the object is in motion but the time is not changing, which is not possible in real scenarios.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

The x-axis represents the time elapsed.
