WHAT IS THE EQUATION FOR SPEED?
Speed (m/s) = distance(m) / time(s)
ON A DISTANCE TIME GRAPH WHAT IS PLOTTED ON WHAT AXIS?
Distance on y axis
Time on x axis
WHAT DOES GRADIENT OF LINE REPRESENT ON A DISTANCE TIME GRAPH?
The speed
WHAT DOES A STRAIGHT DIAGNOL LINE REPRESENT ON A DISTANCE TIME GRAPH?
constant speed
WHAT DOES A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LIKE REPRESENT ON A DISTANCE TOME GRAPH?
Object is stationary
WHAT DOES CURVED LINE STEEPINF UPWARDS REPRESENT ON A DISTANCE TIME GRAPH
acceleration
WHAT DOES CURVED LINE STEEPING DOWNWARDS REPRESENT ON DISTANCE TIME GRAPH
Deacceleration
WHAT IS THE EQUATION FOR ACCELERATION?
Acceleration (m/s2) = change in velocity (m/s) / time (s)
ON A VELOCITY TIME GRAPH WHAT IS PLOTTED ON Y AND X AXIS?
velocity on y axis
Time on x axis
WHAT DOES GRADIENT REPRESENT ON A VELOCITY TIME GRAPH ?
Acceleration
WHAT DOES AREA UNDER THE CURVE REPRESENT ON A VELOCITY TIME GRAPH?

WHAT DOES STRAIGHT DIAGNOL LINE WITH POSITIVE GRADIENT REPRESENT ON A VELOCITY TIME GRAPH?
Constant acceleration
WHAT DOES STRAIGHT DIAGNOL LINE WITH NEGATIVE GRADIENT REPRESENT ON A VELOCITY TIME GRAPH?
Constant deacceleration
WHAT DOES CURVED LINE WITH A POSITIVE GRADIENT REPRESENT ON A VELOCITY TIME GRAPH?
Rate of acceleration is increasing
