Speed Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is a speed graph?

Back

A speed graph visually represents how speed changes over time, showing the relationship between distance and time.

Front

What does a flat line on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest, meaning it is not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed, meaning the object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a gentle slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A gentle slope indicates a low speed, meaning the object is moving slowly.

Front

What is the unit of speed?

Back

The unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).

Front

If an object travels 40 meters in 10 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 40 m / 10 s = 4 m/s.

Front

What does the area under a speed-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a speed-time graph represents the total distance traveled by the object.

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means the object travels the same distance in equal intervals of time.
