b. Distance-time graphs
a. Gradient of the distance (Y-axis) Vs time (X-axis) graph denotes
speed.
i. A straight line sloping upwards means it has
a steady speed.
ii. A horizontal line means the object is stopped.
iii. A steeper gradient means a higher speed.
iv. A curved line means the speed is changing.
v. A straight line sloping downwards means it has
a steady speed and a steady velocity in
the negative direction.
Q2 Show that the average speed of the above car for its whole
AC
journey is (t 3t 0) .
Q3 Following distance-time graph shows a car travelling along a
road, starting from the city O to the city G.

I. Draw a velocity-time graph for the car during the period that
it is accelerating. Include numerical detail on the axes of
your graph.
II. Calculate the distance which car travels while it is
accelerating.
