What does a distance/time graph represent?

Back

A distance/time graph shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.

Front

What does a constant speed look like on a distance/time graph?

Back

A constant speed is represented by a straight line with a positive slope.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance/time graph signify?

Back

A steep slope indicates a fast speed.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance/time graph represent?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration in the context of speed/time graphs?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, shown by a curve that slopes upward on a speed/time graph.

Front

What does a speed/time graph with a straight horizontal line indicate?

Back

A straight horizontal line indicates constant speed.

Front

How can you tell if an object is speeding up on a speed/time graph?

Back

An object is speeding up if the line on the graph slopes upward.

Front

What does a downward slope on a speed/time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).
