2.1.2 Distance & Speed Flashcards
Distance-Time Graph
Decreasing Speed
If speed decreases than distance decreases in the same amount of time.
Line becomes less steep.
Distance-Time Graph
Increasing Speed
If speed increases than distance increases in the same amount of time.
Line becomes steeper.
Distance-Time Graph
No movement
horizontal straight line
Distance-Time Graph
Constant Speed
A straight line sloping up/down
How to find distance on Velocity-Time Graph.
Area of shape underneath the velocity-time graph
What do we mean by instantaneous?
existing or measured at a particular instant.
What do curved lines show on a Velocity-Time graph.
The object is accelerating or deaccelerating at a speed that is not constant.
On a speed-time graph the gradient is?
acceleration
