Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 15mins
Examine the distance vs. time graph below and determine which of the following statements best describes the motion displayed on the graph.
The object is moving away from the starting point at a constant speed.
The object is increasing in speed.
The object is not moving.
The object is decreasing in speed.
The graphs show the distance and time traveled by objects x and y. What statement are correct about the two objects?
Neither object is traveling at a constant speed and object x is traveling slower than object y.
Both are traveling at a constant speed but object x is traveling faster than object y.
Objects x and y are traveling at the same speed.
Objects x and y are speeding up over time.
Which object is traveling the fastest in the graph?
race car
cruising jet
flying eagle
galloping horse
What is speed?
How far you go
How fast you accelerate
How much distance is covered over a period of time
The change in location of an object.
