Distance-Time Graph Interpretation

The video tutorial explains how to interpret distance-time graphs by matching scenarios with graphs. It covers three examples: a motorbike traveling at a steady speed, a car parked in a car park, and a runner who runs at a steady pace, turns around, and returns. Each scenario is analyzed to determine the correct graph representation, emphasizing the importance of understanding graph features like linearity and flat lines.

What is the main task described in the video related to distance-time graphs?

• Drawing new graphs from given situations

• Matching situations with the correct graphs

• Calculating speed from graphs

• Predicting future positions from graphs

In the first situation, why is the graph with a line going up and then down eliminated?

• It is a circular path

• It shows returning to the start, which is not mentioned

• It indicates acceleration

• It represents a constant speed

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

• Constant speed

• No change in distance

• Acceleration

• Deceleration

Which graph correctly represents a motorbike traveling away from home at a steady speed?

• A curved line

• A linear upward line

• A line that goes up and then down

• A flat line

What does the flat line in the second example of a parked car signify?

• The car is stationary

• The car is decelerating

• The car is accelerating

• The car is moving at a constant speed

In the runner's situation, what does the first segment of the graph represent?

• The runner is stationary

• The runner is decelerating

• The runner is accelerating

• The runner is moving at a steady pace

What does the second segment of the runner's graph indicate?

• The runner is moving in a circle

• The runner is stationary

• The runner is accelerating

• The runner is returning at a steady speed

Why is the graph with a linear downward line suitable for the runner's return journey?

• It indicates a steady return speed

• It shows acceleration

• It represents a stop

• It shows a change in direction

What is the significance of a linear graph in the context of speed?

• It indicates acceleration

• It represents a stop

• It indicates variable speed

• It shows constant speed

How does the runner's graph illustrate the concept of turning around?

• By having a line that goes up and then down

• By showing a zigzag pattern

• By showing a flat line

• By having a curved line
