Distance Time Graphs

Question 1

Flat sections?

Answer 1

Flat sections are where the object is stationary.

Question 2

Curves upwards?

Answer 2

Curves represent a changing seed . A steeping curve means the object is speeding up. This is called acceleration.

Question 3

Curve downwards?

Answer 3

Curves represent a changing speed. A curve leveling off means the object is slowing down. This is called Deceleration.

Question 4

Straight line? Upwards or downwards?

Answer 4

If the graph shows a straight line whether it’s up-wards or downwards, it means the object is going at a constant speed.

Question 5

What are distance time graphs?

Answer 5

Distance time graphs show the slope of the line (gradient) which shows the speed at which the object is moving.
