distance time graphs Flashcards
1
Q
Distance time graphs
A
tell you how far something has travelled.
2
Q
gradient
A
gives speed of the object
3
Q
flat section
A
where is it stopped
4
Q
steep graph
A
it is going faster
5
Q
curves
A
accelration
6
Q
curve getting steeper
A
speeding up
7
Q
levelling off
A
slowing down
8
Q
finding speed of straight line in distance/time graph
A
Speed at any point along that line is equal to gradient of line/
Change in vertical/change in horizantal
9
Q
finding speed of curved line in distance/time graph
A
need to draw tangent, (line parallel to curve at the point), and find gradient.
10
Q
Calculating average speed on distance time graph
A
can calculate average speed by:
total distance/ time taken
