5.P.1.2 & 1.3 - Distance/Time Graphs

Front

What does a distance/time graph represent?

Back

A distance/time graph shows how far an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a steep line on a distance/time graph indicate?

Back

A steep line indicates that the object is moving quickly.

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 does it mean if the distance increases but the time stays the same on a graph?

Back

It means the object is moving faster.

Front

What can you conclude if the distance increases at a decreasing rate on a graph?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If Mandy's distance is greater than Josh's on a graph, who won the race?

Back

Mandy won the race.

Front

What does it mean if an object travels at a constant speed on a distance/time graph?

Back

It means the distance increases evenly over time, resulting in a straight diagonal line.
