Distance Time Graphs

Front

What is a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does a straight line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

It represents that the object is stationary (not moving).

Front

What does a steep slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a gentle slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving slowly.

Front

What does a curve on a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

It represents acceleration or deceleration (changing speed).

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The x-axis represents time.

Front

How can you tell if an object is accelerating on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

If the slope of the graph is increasing, the object is accelerating.

Front

What does a negative slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is returning to the starting position.
