Distance-time graphs show how the distance of an object from a starting point changes over time. The steepness of the line tells us about the speed of the object.
1. What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?
Increasing speed
Decreasing speed
No motion
Constant speed
2. What does a steeper line on a distance-time graph represent?
Slower speed
Faster speed
No change in speed
Moving backward
Use the distance-time graph below to answer the following questions.
3. What was the distance covered in the first 10 minutes?
4. How long did the car stop for?
5. What was the total distance traveled by the car?
Indicate whether each statement is True or False.
6. A diagonal line sloping upwards on a distance-time graph means the object is moving away from the start.
True
False
7. If a distance-time graph shows a curved line, it means the object is moving at a constant speed.
True
False
Complete the following sentences.
8. The of a line on a distance-time graph represents the speed of an object.
9. If an object is not moving, its distance-time graph will be a line.
10. To calculate speed from a distance-time graph, you divide the change in distance by the change in .
11. Describe a real-world scenario that could be represented by a distance-time graph with three distinct segments: one showing constant speed, one showing no motion, and one showing a faster constant speed.
