Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What does a graph with the y-axis labeled 'miles' and the x-axis labeled 'hours' represent?

Back

It represents the speed of a vehicle, showing how far it travels over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, often measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled from a graph?

Back

You can determine the distance by looking at the vertical axis (y-axis) at specific points in time on the horizontal axis (x-axis).

Front

What does it mean if a graph is flat (horizontal)?

Back

A flat graph indicates that there is no change in distance over time, meaning the object is not moving.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is sloped upwards?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, showing an increase in distance over time.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is sloped downwards?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point, showing a decrease in distance over time.

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A motion graph visually represents the movement of an object over time, showing distance versus time.

Front

What is the significance of the starting point in motion?

Back

The starting point is the location where the object begins its movement, serving as a reference for measuring distance.

Front

What does it mean if an object is stopped in one place?

Back

If an object is stopped, it means there is no change in distance over time, which is represented by a flat line on a graph.
