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

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a vertical line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The object is stationary (not moving).

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving away from the starting point at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

The object is returning to the starting point.

Front

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

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the definition of 'distance' in the context of a distance-time graph?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object.

Front

What is the definition of 'time' in the context of a distance-time graph?

Back

Time is the duration over which the motion occurs.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated by finding the slope of the line on the graph.
