Distance-time and Speed-time graphs

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is a speed-time graph?

Back

A speed-time graph shows how the speed of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a positive slope on a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is accelerating.

Front

What does a negative slope on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does it mean if an object has negative acceleration?

Back

It means the object is slowing down.
