Average Speed and Graphs

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line represents an object that is stationary.

Front

If a car travels 100 km in 2 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = 100 km / 2 hours = 50 km/h.

Front

What is the unit of speed?

Back

The unit of speed is typically meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

What does it mean if an object is slowing down?

Back

It means the object has a negative acceleration.

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled from a speed-time graph?

Back

The area under the speed-time graph represents the distance traveled.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.
