Q
What does does a steeper gradient show on a distance time graph?
A
A faster speed
1
Q
How do you calculate average speed?
Include units
A
Speed (m/s) = Distance travelled (m) / Time taken (s)
2
Q
What does a flat gradient show on a distance time graph?
A
That the object is stopped
3
Q
What does it mean if w line is sloping up on a distance time graph?
A
It means the object is moving away from its starting point.
4
Q
What does it mean if the line slopes down on a distance time graph?
A
That the object is moving backwards normally this is the direction before or towards the starting point.
5
Q
What does the gradient give on a distance time graph?
A
The speed at that time.
6
Q
What do distance time graphs show?
A
The distance and object moves in a period of time.
