Distance time graphs

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A graphical representation that shows how distance changes over time.

Front

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

Back

The object is stationary (not moving).

Front

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

Back

Constant speed; the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

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

Back

Acceleration; the object is speeding up or slowing down.

Front

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

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

What does a horizontal line represent in terms of motion?

Back

The object is not moving (stationary).

Front

If an object travels 40 meters in 60 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 40 m / 60 s = 0.67 m/s.

Front

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

Back

It represents the starting point where the object is at rest.

Front

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

Back

The object is slowing down.
