Travel Graphs Worksheet 1

Distance-Time Graphs and Average Speed

Name:

Set:

By the end of this worksheet you should be able to:

a. Recognise that on a travel graph, time is always shown along the “x” axis and distance along the “y” axis.

b. Recognise that on a travel graph distance normally refers to the distance from a certain point.

c. Remember that there are 60 minutes in one

hour and that 1 tenth of an hour is 6 minutes and 1 quarter of an hour is 15 minutes.

d. Complete a distance-time graph from data given descriptively or in a table.

e. Use the equation:

Average Speed = distance travelled time taken A.S. = d

t f. Transform the Average Speed equation in

order to calculate the distance travelled or the time taken.
