Speed Over Time and Distance Over Time Graphs

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is defined as the CHANGE in velocity of an object divided by the time interval.

Front

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

Back

To find the distance travelled from a speed-time graph, you find the area under the graph.

Front

What does a flat line on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

How do you find acceleration?

Back

Acceleration can be calculated using the formula: (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

If a train travels at a constant speed of 30 km/h, how far will it travel in 2 hours?

Back

The train will travel 60 km.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed is calculated using the formula: Distance / Time.

Front

If an object accelerates from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 5 seconds, what is its acceleration?

Back

The acceleration is 4 m/s².

Front

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

Back

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