Distance Time Graphs Flashcard

Front

What is a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does a flat line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line represent on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a curve on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a Distance-Time Graph mean?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

What does a decreasing slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The speed of the object is decreasing.

Front

If an object travels 20 m in 10 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 20 m / 10 s = 2 m/s.

Front

What does the y-axis represent on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The distance traveled by the object.

Front

What does the x-axis represent on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The time taken for the journey.
