Graphing motion

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is how far an object has traveled.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What is the formula for distance?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

The unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).

Front

If a runner completes a 100 meter race in 10 seconds, what is their average speed?

Back

10 m/s.

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

What is the total distance covered if a runner runs 40 miles by 2 pm?

Back

40 miles.
