Speed and Distance-Time Graphs Quiz

What is speed?

• The rate of change of position

• The total distance traveled

• The time taken to travel

• The acceleration of an object

What is the SI unit for speed?

• Kilometers per hour

• Meters per second

• Miles per hour

• Feet per second

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

• Increasing speed

• Decreasing speed

• Constant speed

• No motion

What is instantaneous speed?

• Speed over a long period

• Speed at a specific instant

• Average speed over time

• Speed when an object is stopped

How is average speed calculated?

• Total time divided by total distance

• Total distance divided by total time

• Total speed divided by total time

• Total distance divided by total speed

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

• Slower speed

• Faster speed

• Constant speed

• No speed

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

• Increasing speed

• Decreasing speed

• Constant speed

• Motion has stopped

What happens when the slope of a line on a distance-time graph decreases?

• Speed is increasing

• Speed is decreasing

• Speed is constant

• Speed is zero

What is the equation for average speed?

• v = d + t

• v = d - t

• v = d / t

• v = t / d

What can distance-time graphs be used to compare?

• The weight of objects

• The motion of objects

• The color of objects

• The size of objects
