Qualitative Graphs 1

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a type of graph that represents the relationship between variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general trends and patterns.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not changing its position over time.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly, covering a large distance in a short amount of time.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting point or moving backward.

Front

How can you tell if an object is accelerating on a speed-time graph?

Back

An upward slope on a speed-time graph indicates that the object is accelerating, as its speed is increasing over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a speed-time graph mean?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed, with no acceleration.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is decelerating, as its speed is decreasing over time.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a speed-time graph?

Back

The area under a speed-time graph represents the total distance traveled by the object during that time interval.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a sudden change in direction?

Back

A sudden change in direction on a graph indicates that the object has changed its motion, such as stopping and then moving in the opposite direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
