Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation questions.
1. What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?
Constant speed
Increasing speed
No motion (at rest)
Decreasing speed
Use the graph below to answer questions 2 and 3.
2. Describe the motion of the object between t = 0 and t = 4 seconds.
3. Calculate the speed of the object between t = 4 and t = 8 seconds.
4. The steeper the slope of a distance-time graph, the the speed of the object.
5. A curved line on a distance-time graph indicates motion.
6. A distance-time graph can show the direction of motion.
True
False
7. The y-axis of a distance-time graph always represents time.
True
False
8. Explain the difference between constant speed and changing speed on a distance-time graph.
