Here are 10 one-word answer type questions from the topic Distance-Time Graph with their answers and explanations:
Topic: Distance-Time Graph
A distance-time graph shows the relationship between the distance covered by an object and the time taken. It helps us to understand the type of motion and calculate speed easily. A straight line in a distance-time graph shows uniform motion, while a curved line shows non-uniform motion.
1. Question: What type of graph shows distance covered against time taken?
Answer: Line
Explanation: A distance-time graph is a type of line graph which shows the motion of an object.
2. Question: What does a straight line on a distance-time graph indicate?
Answer: Uniform
Explanation: A straight line indicates that the object is moving at a uniform speed.
3. Question: What kind of line does a non-uniform motion show on a distance-time graph?
Answer: Curved
Explanation: A curved line on the distance-time graph shows non-uniform motion.
4. Question: Which axis in the distance-time graph is used to represent time?
Answer: X-axis
Explanation: Time is shown along the horizontal axis (X-axis) in a distance-time graph.
5. Question: Which axis in the distance-time graph is used to represent distance?
Answer: Y-axis
Explanation: Distance is shown along the vertical axis (Y-axis) in a distance-time graph.
6. Question: What is the starting point of the distance-time graph called?
Answer: Origin
Explanation: The point where both distance and time are zero is called the origin.
7. Question: In the distance-time graph, the steeper the line, the higher the __________.
Answer: Speed
Explanation: A steeper line indicates a higher speed because more distance is covered in less time.
8. Question: What can be calculated from the slope of the distance-time graph?
Answer: Speed
Explanation: The slope of the distance-time graph gives the speed of the object.
9. Question: Which tool is required to draw a distance-time graph?
Answer: Graph paper
Explanation: A distance-time graph is drawn on graph paper to plot time and distance points accurately.
10. Question: What kind of motion is indicated when the graph is a straight line sloping upwards?
Answer: Uniform
Explanation: An upward sloping straight line shows uniform motion where equal distances are covered in equal time.
