Question 1
What does a distance-time graph represent?
- AThe relationship between force and mass
- BThe relationship between distance and time
- CThe relationship between acceleration and force
- DThe relationship between mass and volume
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
A distance-time graph shows how distance changes with time.
Question 2
Which quantity is normally plotted on the horizontal axis of a distance-time graph?
- ADistance
- BSpeed
- CTime
- DAcceleration
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
Time is the independent variable and is plotted on the horizontal axis.
Question 3
Which quantity is normally plotted on the vertical axis of a distance-time graph?
- ATime
- BDistance
- CMass
- DForce
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
Distance is plotted on the vertical axis of a distance-time graph.
Question 4
What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?
- AThe object is accelerating
- BThe object is moving at constant speed
- CThe object is at rest
- DThe object is moving faster
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
If distance does not change with time the object is at rest.
Question 5
What does a straight sloping line on a distance-time graph indicate?
- AConstant speed
- BIncreasing acceleration
- CDecreasing mass
- DChanging temperature
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
A straight sloping distance-time graph represents constant speed.
