Distance Time Graphs And Velocity Time Graphs

Question 1

Draw and label a distance time graph

Answer 1

N/a

Question 2

Distance-time graph

Answer 2

1. At any point, gradient = speed
2. Flat sections = stopped
3. Steeper = faster
4. Curve = acceleration
5. Curve getting steeper = acceleration
   Curve levelling = deceleration

Question 3

Draw a velocity-time graph and label

Answer 3

N/a

Question 4

Velocity-time graph

Answer 4

1. Gradient = acceleration
2. Flat section = steady speed
3. Steeper = greater acceleration or deceleration
4. Uphill (/) = acceleration
   Downhill () = deceleration
5. Curve = changing acceleration

Question 5

What is area under a section of a velocity-time graph?

Answer 5

The distance travelled in a certain time interval
