Answer 1

1. Gradient = speed
2. The steeper the graph the faster it’s going
3. Flat sections are where it’s stopped
4. If the gradient is negative it’s coming back

Question 2

Answer 2

1. Gradient = acceleration
2. Negative slope = deceleration
3. Flat sections = steady speed
4. Area under graph = distance travelled

Question 3

Distance time graph axis

Answer 3

Distance, time

Question 4
