11/6/24 Distance time graphs

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph represents the relationship between distance traveled and time taken, showing how far an object has moved over a period.

Front

What does a constant speed look like on a distance-time graph?

Back

A constant speed is represented by a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph, indicating that distance increases steadily over time.

Front

What does acceleration look like on a distance-time graph?

Back

Acceleration is represented by a curved line on a distance-time graph, indicating that the distance increases at an increasing rate.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest, meaning it is not moving.

Front

How can you determine who is moving faster on a distance-time graph?

Back

The steeper the line on the graph, the faster the object is moving. A steeper slope indicates a greater distance covered in a shorter time.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting point, moving backward.

Front

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

Back

The origin point (0,0) represents the starting point of the journey, where no distance has been traveled yet.

Front

What does it mean if two lines on a distance-time graph intersect?

Back

If two lines intersect, it means that the two objects have covered the same distance at the same time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a steep line represent in terms of speed?

Back

A steep line represents a high speed, indicating that the object is covering a large distance in a short amount of time.
