Understanding Distance-Time Graphs in GCSE Physics

📏 Distance-time graphs show how far something has traveled in a certain period of time.

📈 The gradient of the line on a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object.

🚴‍♀️ In the example given, the cyclist traveled a total of 50 meters in 11 seconds.

📏 The gradient on a distance-time graph represents speed.

🚶‍♀️ A flat line indicates stationary position with zero speed.

📈 A steeper line indicates increasing speed and acceleration.

📏 Straight lines on a distance-time graph indicate constant speeds.

⏸️ Flat lines on a distance-time graph represent stationary objects.

🔄 Curved lines on a distance-time graph indicate changing speeds.

📈 Calculate the gradient of a straight line by dividing the change in distance by the change in time.

🔍 When the point lies on a curve, draw a tangent to the curve at that point and calculate the gradient of the tangent.
