Distance-Time Graphs

Cards (8)

  • Gradient = speed
  • Flat sections are where it is stationary
  • Straight uphill sections mean it is travelling at a steady speed
  • Curves represent acceleration or deceleration
  • A steeping curve means it is speeding up
  • A levelling off curve means it is slowing down
  • A change in speed can be found by finding the gradient of the tangent to the curve
