Distance vs Time Graphing Practice

Front

What is a distance vs time graph?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is stationary and not moving.

Front

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

Back

A straight diagonal line represents constant speed; the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph signify?

Back

A curved line indicates that the object's speed is changing; it could be accelerating or decelerating.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a distance vs time graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What does an upward slope on a distance vs time graph mean?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance vs time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is moving back toward the starting point.

Front

What is the significance of the steepness of the slope on a distance vs time graph?

Back

The steepness of the slope indicates the speed; a steeper slope means a higher speed.

Front

What does a flat line followed by a steep line on a distance vs time graph represent?

Back

This represents a period of no movement followed by a period of fast movement.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows increasing speed?

Back

It means the object is accelerating; its speed is increasing over time.
