Distance/Time Graphs - Sp1 Flashcards
1
Q
Describe the different types of parts of the distance/time graph
A
- gradient
- flat
-steep
-curve
-level off
2
Q
explain a gradient
A
gives the speed of an object at any point
3
Q
explain a flat section
A
where motion has stopped
4
Q
describe what a steeper graph means
A
it’s going faster
5
Q
What do curves represent
A
acceleration
6
Q
what represents speeding up
A
a steeper curve or increasing gradient
7
Q
describe what a levelling off means
A
it’s slowing down (decreasing gradient)
8
Q
How to find the speed on a distance/time graph
A
change in the vertical / change in horizontal = answer
just like distance/time
