Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs _ GCSE Physics

The video tutorial explains how to use graphs to understand motion. It covers distance-time graphs for constant speed and velocity-time graphs for acceleration. The tutorial demonstrates how to plot these graphs, interpret slopes for speed, and calculate acceleration. It also explains how to find the distance traveled by calculating the area under the graph.

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate about the motion of an object?

• The object has stopped moving.

• The object is moving in reverse.

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

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

• By observing the color of the graph.

• By counting the number of data points.

• By calculating the slope of the line.

• By measuring the area under the graph.

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

• The object's acceleration is changing.

• The object is accelerating at a constant rate.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

• The object is decelerating at a constant rate.

If a velocity-time graph shows a horizontal line, what does it mean about the object's motion?

• The object is stationary.

• The object is decelerating.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

• The object is accelerating.

How can you find the distance traveled using a velocity-time graph?

• By measuring the slope of the graph.

• By counting the number of peaks.

• By observing the length of the graph.

• By calculating the area under the graph.
