Speed Time and Distance Time Graphs

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line indicates a constant speed.

Front

What does a line with a positive slope on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A line with a positive slope indicates that the object is speeding up.

Front

What does a line with a negative slope on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A line with a negative slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does a flat line at zero speed on a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line at zero speed indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

How can you determine the acceleration from a speed-time graph?

Back

Acceleration can be determined by the slope of the line on the speed-time graph.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a greater acceleration or deceleration.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time.

Front

How can you find the total distance traveled from a speed-time graph?

Back

The total distance can be found by calculating the area under the speed-time graph.

Front

What does a curve on a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A curve indicates a changing acceleration.
