Distance time graphs

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph is a visual representation that shows how distance changes over time. The x-axis represents time, while the y-axis represents distance.

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving; it is stationary.

How can you tell if an object is accelerating on a distance-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the line is increasing, the object is accelerating.

Front

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

Back

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

If a cyclist travels 30 km in 2 hours, what is their speed?

Back

Speed = 30 km / 2 hours = 15 km/h.

Front

What does the area under the line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The area under the line does not represent a specific quantity in distance-time graphs; it is primarily used in velocity-time graphs to represent distance.
