Graphing Stories

Front

What is graphing stories?

Back

Graphing stories is the process of creating a visual representation of a narrative or scenario using graphs to illustrate motion, speed, and distance over time.

What does a speed vs. time graph represent?

Back

A speed vs. time graph shows how the speed of an object changes over time, indicating whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

A horizontal line on a graph indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed or is at rest.

Front

What does a downward slope on a speed vs. time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down or decelerating.

Front

What does an upward slope on a speed vs. time graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is speeding up or accelerating.

Front

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

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by calculating the area under the graph line on a distance vs. time graph.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, which can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a form of acceleration that occurs when an object slows down.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows no motion?

Back

If a graph shows no motion, it means the object is stationary and not changing its position over time.

Front

What is the significance of point B to C in a speed vs. time graph?

Back

The significance of point B to C in a speed vs. time graph can indicate a change in speed, such as slowing down or stopping.
