6.3 Distance Time Graphs

Question 1

What is a distance-time graph?

Answer 1

A distance time graph is a way of showing how something is moving.

Question 2

How do we calculate the speed from a distance time graph?

Answer 2

We get the distance and the time from the graph and put it under the formula of speed.

Question 3

What does a distance-time graph that has an increasing slope tell you?

Answer 3

1. It is a directly proportional graph
2. The object is moving at a steady speed
3. The object is under unbalanced forces
4. The object is under uniform motion

Question 4

What does a distance-time graph that has an decreasing slope tell you?

Answer 4

1. It is an indirectly proportional graph
2. The object is moving at a steady speed
3. The object is under unbalanced forces
4. The object is under uniform motion

Question 5

What does a distance time graph which has changing speed tell you?

Answer 5

1. The object is moving at a variable speed
2. The object is under unbalanced forces
3. The object is under non-uniform motion
4. The steepest slope shows us the maximum speed

Question 6

What does a distance-time graph that has no slope tell you?

Answer 6

1. The value on the y axis is constant
2. The object is at rest
3. The object is under balanced forces
