What are the requirements for a scientific graph according to scientific convention?

Back

All graphs must have a title and axes labels with units. Labels and units should be on the appropriate axes.

Front

Can graphs represent the motion of an object?

Back

Yes, graphs can be a representation of the motion of an object.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph show?

Back

A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, often time.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable, such as speed or distance.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be speeding up?

Back

An object is speeding up when its velocity is increasing over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object at a specific time from a velocity-time graph?

Back

You can read the value on the y-axis corresponding to the specific time on the x-axis.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What is a key in a graph?

Back

A key explains the symbols or colors used in the graph to represent different data sets.
