Distance Time Graphs

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph is a visual representation that shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line represents that the object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

A gentle slope indicates that the object is moving slowly.

Front

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

Back

The speed can be determined by calculating the slope of the line on the graph.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

The x-axis represents the time taken.

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a line that goes up and then levels off, what does that mean?

Back

It means the object was moving and then stopped.

Front

How do you find the distance traveled in a specific time from a distance-time graph?

Back

You can find the distance by looking at the y-coordinate of the graph at the given time on the x-axis.
