Date:

🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To analyse distance-time graphs and calculate speed

Success Criteria: I can read distance-time graphs, calculate gradients, and identify motion patterns

Time: 15 minutes

📊 Part 1: Graph Analysis

Study the distance-time graph below showing three objects A, B, and C:

Distance-Time Graph
(Imagine: Line A - steep slope, Line B - gentle slope, Line C - horizontal line)

1. Which object is stationary (not moving)?

Object A

Object B

Object C

2. Which object is moving the fastest?

Object A

Object B

Object C

3. Object A travels 60 metres in 10 seconds. Calculate its speed:

Speed = _______ m/s

4. What does the gradient (slope) of a distance-time graph represent?

🧮 Part 2: Calculations & Analysis

5. A cyclist travels 150 metres in 30 seconds. Show your working to find the speed:

6. Complete: A steeper gradient on a distance-time graph means _____________ speed.

7. If an object's distance-time graph is a horizontal line, the object is:

Moving at constant speed

Accelerating

Stationary

8. Extension: Explain why distance-time graphs are useful for comparing the motion of different objects:

💡 Dyslexia Support: Use the formula triangle: Speed = Distance ÷ Time

🌟 Remember: Gradient = Rise ÷ Run = Change in Distance ÷ Change in Time
