Speed-Distance Graphing Worksheet
📊 Part 1: Reading Speed-Time Graphs
1. A car travels at a constant speed of 60 km/h for 2 hours, then stops for 1 hour, then travels at 40 km/h for 2 hours. What is the total distance travelled?
200 km180 km160 km140 km
2. On a speed-time graph, what does the area under the curve represent?
SpeedTimeDistanceAcceleration
3. A horizontal line on a speed-time graph indicates:
The object is stationaryConstant speedIncreasing speedDecreasing speed
4. Which of the following represent motion on a distance-time graph? (Select all that apply)
A steep upward slope shows fast motionA horizontal line shows the object is stationaryA curved line shows changing speedA downward slope shows the object moving backwards
✏️ Part 2: Calculations and Analysis
5. A cyclist travels 45 km in 1.5 hours. Calculate the average speed in km/h.
Average speed = _______ km/h
6. From the speed-time graph description below, calculate the total distance:
A bus accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in 10 seconds, maintains this speed for 30 seconds, then decelerates to 0 km/h in 20 seconds.
Total distance = _______ metres
7. Explain the difference between a distance-time graph and a speed-time graph. Give one key feature of each.
8. A car's speed increases uniformly from 20 km/h to 80 km/h over 4 hours. What is the acceleration in km/h²?
Acceleration = _______ km/h²
📈 Part 3: Graph Sketching
9. Sketch a speed-time graph for the following scenario: A train starts from rest, accelerates for 2 minutes to reach 120 km/h, travels at constant speed for 5 minutes, then decelerates for 3 minutes until it stops.
10. Draw a distance-time graph that shows an object moving at constant speed for 3 seconds, then remaining stationary for 2 seconds, then moving at a faster constant speed for 3 seconds.
