Distance Time Graphs

Front

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

Back

Constant Speed

Front

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

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

If an object travels 100 meters in 5 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

20 m/s

Front

What does a curved line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

Acceleration or deceleration.

Front

What is the formula for calculating distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a steep slope, what can be inferred about the speed?

Back

The object is moving quickly.

Front

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

Back

An undefined situation (impossible in real scenarios).

Front

How can you determine the total time taken from a distance-time graph?

Back

By looking at the x-axis where the graph ends.

Front

What does a line that slopes downwards on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is returning to the starting point.
