Question
- A. 120 km — graph focus for distance
- B. This confuses distance and displacement and does not answer Distance, displacement, speed and velocity.
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Forces and motion.
Answer
The correct answer is: 120 km — graph focus for distance
Explanation
The correct option is 120 km — graph focus for distance. 120 km — graph focus for distance is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate distance from speed and time. This answer belongs to Distance, displacement, speed and velocity within Forces and motion, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse distance and displacement, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Confusing Distance with Speed
Students often confuse distance with speed, thinking that distance is the same as how fast an object is moving.
Remember that distance is the total path length traveled, while speed is the rate at which distance is covered. Use the formula distance = speed x time to clarify the distinction.
