Homework - distance time graphs

How is the speed of an object represented on a distance-time graph?

1. By the area under the graph
2. By the x-intercept
3. By the gradient of the graph
4. By the y-intercept

What does the gradient of a distance-time graph represent?

1. The speed of the object
2. The time taken by the object
3. The displacement of the object
4. The acceleration of the object

How can the speed of an accelerating object at a particular time be determined?

1. By measuring the gradient of the tangent
2. By finding the area under the graph
3. By drawing a horizontal line
4. By locating the x-intercept

What information can be obtained from a distance-time graph?

1. The distance travelled and speed of the object
2. The color of the object and its texture
3. The time of day and temperature
4. The mass of the object and its shape

If the gradient of a distance-time graph is zero, what does it indicate?

1. The object is at rest
2. The object is accelerating
3. The object is moving in a circular path
4. The object is moving at a constant speed

What can be calculated from the gradient of a velocity - time graph?

1. Acceleration
2. Speed
3. Time
4. Distance

How is the distance travelled by an object calculated from a velocity - time graph?

1. Slope of the graph
2. Gradient of the graph
3. Intercept of the graph
4. Area under the graph

What does the gradient of a velocity - time graph represent?

1. Speed
2. Acceleration
3. Distance
4. Time

What does the area under a velocity - time graph represent?

1. Distance travelled or displacement
2. Acceleration at a specific time
3. Velocity at a specific time
4. Time taken for the journey

From a velocity - time graph, what is calculated by finding the area under the graph?
