distance time graphs

Cards (7)

  • Horizontal line= object is not moving
  • a constant straight line, pointing diagonally on this graph means the speed is constant
  • steeper diagonal line= object moving away with constant speed but faster.
  • flatter diagonal line = object moving away at slower speed
  • distance-time graph can be used to find acceleration
  • the gradient of a distance-time graph gives us the average speed over that period of time
  • Diagonal line downwards= object moving back towards start with constant speed.
