Distance Time Graphs

Front

What is a Distance Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate on a Distance Time Graph?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point at a constant speed.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate on a Distance Time Graph?

Back

It indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What does a flat line represent on a Distance Time Graph?

Back

It represents that the object is not moving (at rest).

Front

How do you calculate speed from a Distance Time Graph?

Back

Speed = Distance traveled / Time taken.

Front

What is acceleration in the context of a Distance Time Graph?

Back

Acceleration refers to the increase in speed over time, shown by a curve that slopes upwards.

Front

What does it mean if the graph has a steep slope?

Back

It means the object is moving quickly.

Front

What does it mean if the graph has a gentle slope?

Back

It means the object is moving slowly.

Front

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a Distance Time Graph?

Back

By measuring the vertical distance from the starting point to the endpoint on the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis on a Distance Time Graph?

Back

The x-axis represents time.
