Speed vs Time Graphs

Front

What is a Speed vs Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows how speed changes over time, with speed on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a Speed vs Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a downward slope on a Speed vs Time Graph represent?

Back

The object is decreasing its speed.

Front

What does an upward slope on a Speed vs Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is increasing its speed.

Front

What does a vertical line on a Speed vs Time Graph mean?

Back

It is not possible in real scenarios; it would imply infinite speed.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = distance/time.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of speed over time.

Front

What does it mean if the speed is zero?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s).
