DISTANCE-TIME GRAPH

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.
