DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS X t X t X t A steep line indicates a fast speed A shallow graph indicates a slow speed A flat line   indicates zero   speed, the   object is    stationary
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS Velocity = 10 m/s The gradient of a distance-time graph = velocity rise run gradient = rise run = 20m 2s =  10
VELOCITY-TIME GRAPHS V t V t V t Speed increasing Speed decreasing Constant  speed
VELOCITY-TIME GRAPHS Distance travelled = 125 m The area under a velocity-time graph = distance travelled area = b x h 2 = 5 x 50 2 =  125
