Module 5 Lesson 6 - Story Graphs

Front

What is a story graph?

Back

A story graph is a visual representation of an object's motion over time, showing how its position changes.

Front

What does it mean when a line on a graph is increasing?

Back

When a line on a graph is increasing, it indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, and its distance from the starting point is getting larger.

Front

What does it mean when a line on a graph is decreasing?

Back

When a line on a graph is decreasing, it indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point, and its distance from the starting point is getting smaller.

Front

What does a flat line on a graph represent?

Back

A flat line on a graph represents a period where the object is at rest, meaning it is not moving.

Front

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

Back

The speed of an object can be determined by the steepness of the line on the graph; a steeper line indicates a faster speed.

Front

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

Back

A change in direction on a graph is indicated by a change in the slope of the line, showing that the object has turned around.

Front

How do you find the total distance traveled from a story graph?

Back

To find the total distance traveled, add up the lengths of all segments of the graph, regardless of direction.

Front

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

Back

The x-axis typically represents time, showing how the position of the object changes over a specific duration.

Front

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

Back

The y-axis typically represents distance or position, showing how far the object is from the starting point.

Front

What does it mean if the graph has a steep slope?

Back

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