Calculating Average Speed

Front

What is average speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.

Front

What does it mean when a car is at rest on a graph?

Back

It means the car is not moving and its position is not changing over time.

Front

What is a point of origin in a distance-time graph?

Back

The point of origin (0) is where the object starts its journey, typically represented as (0,0) on the graph.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

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

Back

A straight diagonal line represents constant speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is showing deceleration?

Back

Deceleration means the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a distance-time graph?

Back

The slope represents the speed of the object; a steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What does it mean if the distance increases but time remains constant?

Back

It means the object is moving at a constant speed.
