Exploring Distance Time Graphs

The video tutorial explains distance-time graphs, highlighting their components and how to interpret them. It covers key features such as steady speed, stationary periods, and returning to the starting point. The tutorial also explains how to calculate speed using the gradient of the graph. Two example problems are provided: one involving a man's journey and another involving Sean's journey, demonstrating how to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

• The object is decelerating.

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is moving at a steady speed.

• The object is stationary.

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

• The object is decelerating.

• The object is stationary.

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is moving at a steady speed.

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

• Time divided by distance.

• Time minus distance.
