Front

What does a distance-time graph represent when the line is straight and sloped?

Back

Constant Speed

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent when the line is curved?

Back

Acceleration

Front

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

Back

Not moving

Front

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

Back

1 m/s

Front

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

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

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

Back

Higher speed

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a line going back towards the starting point, what does it indicate?

Back

The object is returning to its starting position.

Front

How long did it take an object to travel 10 m if the graph shows a time of 20 seconds?

Back

20 seconds

Front

What does a distance-time graph look like for an object that is accelerating?

Back

The line curves upwards.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

It represents distance.
