Quick questions on Distance-time and velocity-time graphs - CCEA GCSE Physics

5short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What are distance-time graphs?
Show answer
On a distance-time graph, time is on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.
What are velocity-time graphs?
Show answer
On a velocity-time graph, time is on the horizontal axis and velocity on the vertical axis. These graphs carry two pieces of information.
What is q1?
Show answer
What does the gradient of a velocity-time graph represent? [1 mark]
What is q2?
Show answer
A velocity-time graph shows constant 12 m/s12\ \text{m/s} for 20 s20\ \text{s}. Find the distance travelled. [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
A car covers 400 m400\ \text{m} at constant speed shown by a straight distance-time line spanning 25 s25\ \text{s}. Find its speed. [2 marks]
