Movement And Position Flashcards
What is on the x and y axis of a distance time graph ?
X axis = time
Y axis = distance
What does a diagonal line in a distance time graph indicate ?
A constant speed
What does a horizontal line in a distance time graph indicate ?
An object has stopped moving
What does the gradient of the line represent in a distance time graph ?
Represents velocity
Equation for speed
Speed = distance/ time
What runs along the X axis and Y axis on a velocity time graph ?
X axis - time
Y axis - velocity
What does a horizontal line on a velocity time graph indicate ?
Constant speed
What does a diagonal line on a velocity time graph indicate ?
Constant acceleration
What does a vertical line on a velocity time graph indicate ?
The object has stopped moving
What graph does the distance under the indicate the distance travelled ?
Velocity time graph
Equation for acceleration
Acc = change in velocity / time
What is the unit for acceleration?
m/s2
