DISTANCE TIME GRAPH Flashcards
1
Q
- flat line
A
motion has stopped
2
Q
steep slope
A
object covers greater distance
3
Q
gentle slope
A
object is moving slow and is covering less distance
4
Q
slope is known by what other name
A
- gradient
5
Q
what is the slope equivalent to
A
- it is equivalent to the objects average speed over a time interval
6
Q
what do you need to remember to do to the x interval if its variable is to big
A
scale it down to 1-5
7
Q
always remember to
A
- write a title which is usually the hypothesis but shorter and simpler
- don’t put the variables in brackets only put the units in brackets
8
Q
where does the independent variable go
A
- it goes on the x- axis
9
Q
How to calculate the speed in a distance - time graph
A
rise/run = count the squares up and the squares and across
or
- m/s
