Qualitative Graphs

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a visual representation that shows the relationship between two variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general trends and patterns.

What does it mean for a distance to change at a constant rate?

Back

It means that the distance increases or decreases by the same amount over equal intervals of time.

What is acceleration in the context of motion?

Back

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity of an object, indicating how quickly it speeds up or slows down.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a constant speed?

Back

A constant speed on a graph indicates that the distance traveled is increasing at a steady rate over time, represented by a straight line.

What is the significance of a rest station in a biking graph?

Back

A rest station indicates a period where the biker stops moving, resulting in a flat line on the graph, showing no change in distance.

Front

How can you describe a situation where a runner accelerates and then maintains a constant speed?

Back

The graph would show an upward slope during acceleration, followed by a straight horizontal line indicating constant speed.

What does a decrease in distance on a graph indicate?

Back

A decrease in distance indicates that the object is moving closer to its starting point or home.

What is the relationship between speed and distance in a qualitative graph?

Back

Speed is the rate at which distance is covered; a higher speed results in a steeper slope on the graph.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a decrease in speed?

Back

A decrease in speed means that the object is slowing down, which is represented by a downward slope on the graph.

What is the purpose of using qualitative graphs in real-life situations?

Back

Qualitative graphs help visualize and understand the behavior of objects over time without needing exact numerical data.
