Distance time graphs

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent when the line is straight and sloped?

Back

Constant Speed

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent when the line is curved?

Back

Acceleration

Front

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

Back

Not moving

Front

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

Back

Distance and time

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

If an object travels 20 meters in 10 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

2 m/s

Front

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

Back

Higher speed

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a line going back to the starting point, what does it indicate?

Back

The object returned to its reference point.

Front

How long did it take this object to travel 10 m if the graph shows a time of 20 seconds?

Back

20 s

Front

If an object takes 100 seconds to return to its starting point, what can we infer about its journey?

Back

It traveled away and then back to the starting point.
