What does it mean when an object is stationary on a graph?

Back

It means the object is not moving and its position does not change over time.

Front

How do you determine the speed of an object from a graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated by finding the distance traveled over the time taken, often represented as the slope of the line on a distance-time graph.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a fast speed; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is stationary; it is not changing its position.

Front

What does a downward slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to the starting position.

Front

What is the Y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line that represents the dependent variable, often time or distance in motion graphs.

Front

What is the X-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line that represents the independent variable, often time in motion graphs.

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating on a graph?

Back

It means the object's speed is increasing over time, represented by a curve that slopes upwards.

Front

What does it mean if an object is decelerating on a graph?

Back

It means the object's speed is decreasing over time, represented by a curve that slopes downwards.

Front

How can you tell if an object is moving at a constant speed on a graph?

Back

An object is moving at a constant speed if the graph shows a straight line with a consistent slope.
