DISTANCE TIME GRAPHS

Understand distance-time graphs: interpret motion, calculate speed, and relate slope to speed. Practice for science class!

Distance vs. Time Graph Please watch the video so that you recall the information we went over. Matching Please match the correct representation for each graph. Decreasing Speed Constant Speed Increasing Speed Stationary Body Interpreting Distance-Time Graphs Match the description with the graph steady move, going back, stop and return slowly to start start at the end, head back home Stand still, then walk. Then stand still not moving, stationary moving at a steady but slow speed moving at a steady but fast speed moving slowly, stop, move quickly walk fast, stop, turn around and went back Fill in the blank. Use the following sentences to fill in the blank.1. The car is going at a constant speed.2. The car is starting at a constant speed.3. The car is going back at a constant speed.4. The car is stationary, at rest, for 5 seconds. Using the graph above, which one has the greatest speed? Biking Skating Walking Using the graph above, which one has the slowest speed? Biking Skating Walking Using the graph above, which one covers the farthest distance? Biking Skating Walking Matching. Using the graph above, please match each segment with the correct speed. Calculate the slope by using rise over run (rise Point A is the end for that segment, Point B is the end of the next segment, Point C is the end of the next segment, etc... PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU CONVERT MINUTES INTO HOURS WHEN NEEDED. Segment D 15 km Segment C & E 0 km Segment B 10 km Segment F 30 km Segment A 20 km Please complete the sentences. 1. The slope of a distance-versus-time graph shows an object's speed.2. To calculate the slope of the line you must use the equation Slope = Rise In your own words, how does slope relate to speed? What does a horizontal slope for distance-versus-time graph indicate about an object's motion?
