Front

What does a typical speed graph have on the y-axis and x-axis?

Back

Distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

d/t (distance/time)

Front

If an object travels 60 km in 60 minutes, what is its speed?

Back

1 km/minute

Front

Looking at a Distance-Time graph, how would you be able to tell if an object is moving at a constant speed or not moving?

Back

A straight horizontal line indicates the object is not moving, while a straight sloped line indicates constant speed.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Speed in a given direction

Front

In the 'Distance vs. Time' graph, which line is moving back to point 0 (the origin)?

Back

Line B

Front

What does a steeper incline on a distance vs. time graph indicate about acceleration?

Back

Front

Acceleration is a change in _______ over a specific amount of time.

Back
