Velocity And Distance-Time Graphs

Question 1

What is the equation linking speed, distance and time

Answer 1

Speed = distance/time

Question 2

What does the gradient of a distance time graph represent?

Answer 2

The speed

Question 3

What do flat sections on distance time graphs represent?

Answer 3

The object stationary

Question 4

What does a straight positive or negative gradient mean?

Answer 4

The object is traveling at a steady speed

Question 5

What does a steeper gradient mean in a distance time graph?

Answer 5

The faster the object is moving

Question 6

What do downhill sections in a distance time graph represent?

Answer 6

The object moving back towards its starting point

Question 7

What do curves represent on a distance time graph?

Answer 7

Acceleration or deceleration

Question 8

What does an increasing gradient represent on a distance time graph?

Answer 8

Acceleration

Question 9

What does a levelling off of the curve represent on a distance time graph?

Answer 9

Deceleration

Question 10

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Answer 10

Speed is just how fast your going with no regard to the direction whereas velocity is the speed and the direction of the speed
