Speed - Time Graphs

Front

What is speed?

Back

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

Front

What does a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A speed-time graph shows how the speed of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken (Speed = Distance / Time).

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a sloping line upwards on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A sloping line upwards indicates that the object is accelerating.

Front

What does a sloping line downwards on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A sloping line downwards indicates that the object is decelerating (slowing down).

Front

What is the significance of the area under a speed-time graph?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance using speed and time?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest (not moving).
