Distance-time Graph Multiple Choice

Front

What is average speed?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A straight line indicates that an object's speed is constant.

Front

How do you calculate average speed from a distance-time graph?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If an object travels 60 meters in 20 seconds, what is its average speed?

Back

Average speed = 60 m / 20 s = 3 m/s.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line represents that the object is at rest (speed = 0).

Front

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

Back

The slope represents the speed of the object; steeper slopes indicate higher speeds.

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a line that slopes downwards, what does this indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting point.

Front

What is the distance covered if the graph shows a line from (0,0) to (40, 40)?

Back

The distance covered is 40 meters.

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled in a specific time segment on a distance-time graph?

Back

By finding the difference in distance values at the start and end of the time segment.
