6.5.4.1.4 The distance-time relationship

Content	Key opportunities for skills development
$If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance-time graph. The speed of an object can be calculated from the gradient of its distance-time graph. Students should be able to draw distance-time graphs from measurements and extract and interpret lines and slopes of distance-time graphs, translating information between graphical and numerical form. Students should be able to determine speed from a distance-time graph.$	$MS 4a, b, c, d, f$
