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 not moving; it is at rest.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A straight diagonal line represents constant speed; the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

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

Back

A curved line indicates acceleration or deceleration; the object's speed is changing.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a flat section on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat section indicates that the object is stationary; it is not moving during that time.

Front

What is the significance of point B to point C in a distance-time graph?

Back

Point B to point C may indicate a period where the object is stationary or has stopped moving.

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 negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point; it is returning.
