D-T and V-T graphs Flashcards
1
Q
What does a distance-time graph show?
A
- Show how much an object has travelled in a given time
2
Q
What does the gradient of the line in a distance-time graph tell you?
A
- The speed that the object is travelling at that exact point in time
3
Q
What does increasing and decreasing gradient show in a distance-time graph?
A
- Increasing gradient shows acceleration
- Decreasing gradient shows deceleration
4
Q
What does a velocity-time graph show?
A
- How the velocity of an object changes over time
5
Q
What does the gradient of the line in a velocity-time graph tell you?
A
- Acceleration of the object at that exact point in time
6
Q
What does positive and negative gradient show in a velocity-time graph?
A
- Positive gradient shows constant acceleration
- Negative gradient shows constant deceleration
7
Q
What does increasing and decreasing gradient show in a velocity-time graph?
A
- Increasing gradient shows increasing rate of acceleration
- Decreasing gradient shows decreasing rate of acceleration
8
Q
What does the area under the graph in a velocity-time graph show?
A
- Total distance travelled
