Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What does a distance-time graph show?

Back

It shows how far an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving; it is stationary.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving slowly.

Front

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

Back

It represents the distance traveled.

Front

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

Back

It represents the time taken.

Front

How can you determine speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated by finding the slope of the line on the graph.

Front

What does it mean if the line on a distance-time graph goes down?

Back

The object is moving back towards the starting point.
