Distance-Time Graphs

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

The object is accelerating.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

Back

Speed is calculated by the slope of the line on the graph.

Front

What does a steeper line on a distance-time graph mean?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

What does a flat line followed by a steep line indicate on a distance-time graph?

Back

The object was stationary for a time and then started moving quickly.

Front

If a distance-time graph shows a line that goes downwards, what does that mean?

Back

The object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What does the area under the line in a distance-time graph represent?

Back

The total distance traveled.

Front

What does a line that returns to the starting point on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

The object has returned to its original position.
