Distance - Time Graph and Velocity Review 1

Front

What is a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

A graphical representation that shows the distance an object has traveled over a specific period of time.

Front

What does the slope of a Distance-Time Graph represent?

Back

The slope represents the speed of the object; a steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What is Velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed with direction.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is stopped (at rest).

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a curved line on a Distance-Time Graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is accelerating.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What does it mean if an object returns home on a Distance-Time Graph?

Back

It means the object has traveled back to its starting point, which can be shown as a decrease in distance over time.

Front

If an object takes 100 seconds to return to its starting point, what does this indicate?

Back

It indicates the total time taken for the object to travel back to its reference point.
