Fine Beautiful The Distance Time Graph
The above graph shows an object which is not moving at rest.
The distance time graph. You will be given ten graph cards and ten story cards. It is a simple line graph that denotes distance versus time findings on the graph. A distance-time graph shows how far something travels over a period of time.
A straight line means constant speed. A distance-time graph is a useful way to represent the motion of an object. Distance is plotted on the Y.
For instance in the case of a uniform motion the graph will get a straight line whereas the gradient becomes greater implies the bodys fast movement. The straight horizontal line shows that its distance stays the same as time goes by because it is not moving. Distance-time graphs A horizontal line on a distance-time graph shows that the object is stationary not moving because the distance does not change A sloping line on a distance-time graph shows.
Secure learners will be able to identify the scale used on distance-time graphs. The speed of an object is given by the gradient of the line. The picture below shows a distance - time graph for an object that is stationary.
Give each group the Card Set A. Distance-time graphs show how the distance travelled by a moving object changes with time. With distance on the y y -axis and time on the x x -axis a distance-time graph tells us how far someonesomething has travelled and how long it took themit to do so.
A distance-time graph shows how far an object has travelled in a given time. In a distancetime graph the gradient of the line is equal to. The vertical axis of a distance-time graph is the distance travelled from the start.
