distance-time graphs Flashcards
1
Q
graph
A
distance is given on graph (y-axis)
2
Q
speed
A
=gradient= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
3
Q
if graph slopes up gently…
A
…slow speed
4
Q
if graph becomes steeper…
A
…distance from starting point is increasing more rapidly
= moving faster
5
Q
if graph is flat (horizontal)…
A
…distance not changing
OR
stationary
6
Q
increasing gradient of curve…
A
…speeding up (accelerating)
7
Q
we can find…
A
…how fast something is moving
8
Q
A
