Distance-time Graph Practice

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph represents the relationship between distance traveled and the time taken to travel that distance.

Front

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

Back

A constant slope indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line represents no motion; the object is stationary.

Front

What does an upward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

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

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken (Speed = Distance / Time).

Front

What is acceleration in the context of a distance-time graph?

Back

Acceleration refers to the change in speed over time, which can be represented by a changing slope on the graph.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a decrease in speed, represented by a downward slope on a distance-time graph.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by the object.
