By Stephanie Ramirez

Multiple Choice

1. What does a horizontal (flat) line on a distance-time graph mean?

• The object is speeding up

• The object is slowing down

• The object is not moving

• The object is moving backward

Multiple Choice

2. Which line shows faster speed on a distance-time graph?

• A. A flat line

• B. A gentle upward line

• C. A steep upward line

• D. A downward line

Multiple Choice

3. What does a downward line on a distance-time graph represent?

• A. Speeding up

• B. Moving back toward the starting point

• C. Resting

• D. Moving at constant speed

Multiple Choice

4. How can you tell if an object is speeding up?

• A. The line becomes flat

• B. The line curves downward

• C. The line becomes gentle

• D. The line curves upward and gets steeper

Multiple Choice

5. What does a downward curve tell you about an object’s motion?

• A. The object is going faster and faster

• B. The object is resting

• C. The object is moving away from start

• D. The object is slowing down

Multiple Choice

6. What does a gentle (not steep) upward line show?

• A. Fast speed

• B. No motion

• C. Returning to start

• D. Slow speed

Multiple Choice

7. Two runners are shown on the same graph. Runner A has a steeper line than Runner B. What does this tell you?

• A. Runner A is slower

• B. Runner B is faster

• C. They are moving at the same speed

• D. Runner A is faster

Multiple Choice

8. Why does slope represent speed on a distance-time graph?

• A. Because time is on the y-axis

• B. Because slope = distance ÷ time

• C. Because slope stays the same

• D. Because distance never changes

Multiple Choice

9. Which graph feature shows that an object’s speed is changing?

• A. A straight line

• B. A flat line

• C. A curved line

• D. A downward line

Multiple Choice

10. On a distance-time graph, what does the point where two lines meet represent?

• A. They moved at the same speed the whole time

• B. One object disappeared

• C. Both objects were at the same place at that moment

• D. One object stopped moving
