4.3 — Learning goals

• Calculate speed using a distance-time graph

• Read a distance-time graph correctly
  

Shows:

• The distance traveled

• How much time this took

•  How this distance was traveled

What you have to be able to do with it:

• Find the speed of a movement 

•  describe the trajectory of a movement

• determine wether an object is standing still, moving at a constante velocity or accelerating/ decelerating

• Distance travled?
  

• Time taken?
  

• Average speed
  

• Speed at each segment?
  

Which of the two is faster?

•  The gradient of the slope shows the speed of a movement
•  blue is faster

A

B

What happens in segments 

A & B?

What is happening at A and B?

Exercise

John goes for a walk, he leaves at his house.

a) Calculate his speed for each segment. Also calculate his average speed.

b) How much distance did he travel in total?

c) Where does John end up?

at the end of his walK?
