What Does this Graph Show?
An object
moves at a
constant
speed from its
starting
position
It stops
briefly
It moves
further away
from its
starting
position at a
lower speed
It returns to
its starting
position
traveling at a
constant
speed
9. Time

Sketch and give a description
of what this graph shows
An object
starts
travelling at a
constant
speed
Its constant
speed
increases
It stops for a
while It travels
towards its
starting point
at a constant

Sketch a graph to show this
description
A car sets of at a slow constant speed, it stops
briefly to refuel before setting off at a faster
constant speed until it reaches its destination.
It is stopped for a while before it returns
home at a constant speed
13. Draw a distance time graph for a car which travels at a
constant speed for 90 minutes until it is 60 miles from
home. It then stops for 30 minutes before traveling for 60
minutes a constant speed covering 30 miles.
Time Distance at End of that Time
90 60
30 mins
120 60
60 mins
180 90
So scales of the graph have to go up to
180 for time and 90 for distance
15. Distance
Speed x Time
A car travelled 2000m in 10 minutes. At
what speed was it travelling?
Speed =
2000
10
= 200 metres per minute
