What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between different variables.

What does a constant speed mean?

Back

Constant speed means that an object is moving at the same rate over time, without speeding up or slowing down.

How can you determine distance traveled from a graph?

Back

You can determine distance traveled by looking at the vertical axis of the graph, which usually represents distance.

What does it mean when a graph shows a flat line?

Back

A flat line on a graph indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

What does acceleration mean in terms of motion?

Back

Acceleration refers to the rate at which an object changes its speed or direction.

Front

How can you tell if an object is speeding up on a graph?

Back

If the slope of the line on the graph is increasing, the object is speeding up.

How do you find the total distance from a graph?

Back

You can find the total distance by calculating the area under the graph line.
