What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a type of graph that represents the relationship between variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general trends and behaviors of the data.

What does a flat section on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A flat section on a speed graph indicates that the object is not moving, meaning its speed is zero.

How can you identify when an object is accelerating on a graph?

Back

An object is accelerating on a graph when the slope of the line is increasing, indicating that the speed is increasing over time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed graph represent?

Back

A steep slope on a speed graph represents a high speed, indicating that the object is moving quickly.

What does a downward slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope on a speed graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down.

What is the significance of the x-axis in a speed graph?

Back

The x-axis in a speed graph typically represents time, showing how the speed of the object changes over a specific duration.

What does the y-axis represent in a speed graph?

Back

The y-axis in a speed graph represents speed, showing how fast the object is moving at any given time.

What does it mean if a graph shows a section where the line is horizontal?

Back

A horizontal line on a graph indicates that the speed is constant, meaning the object is moving at a steady pace without acceleration.

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a speed graph?

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by calculating the area under the speed graph over a given time interval.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
