What is a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

A graph that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

The object is at rest; it is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line indicate on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a curved line on a Distance-Time Graph signify?

Back

The object is accelerating or decelerating.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

Speed is calculated by the slope of the line; steeper slopes indicate higher speeds.

Front

What does a decreasing slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is slowing down or decelerating.

Front

What does an increasing slope on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is speeding up or accelerating.

Front

If a Distance-Time Graph shows a line returning to the starting point, what does this mean?

Back

The object has returned to its original position.

Front

How do you find the total distance traveled from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

Add the distances represented by each segment of the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by the object.
