Distance-time Graph Practice

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph is a visual representation that shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is stationary and not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A straight diagonal line represents constant speed; the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

What does a curved line on a distance-time graph signify?

Back

A curved line indicates that the object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does the slope of a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object.

Front

If a runner's distance increases rapidly on a graph, what can be inferred?

Back

It can be inferred that the runner is moving quickly.

Front

What does it mean if the distance on the graph decreases?

Back

If the distance decreases, it means the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
