Graphing Stories

Front

What is graphing stories?

Back

Graphing stories is a method of representing real-life situations using graphs to illustrate motion, speed, and changes in position over time.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

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

Back

A sloped line indicates that the object is moving; the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means that an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object; it occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a type of acceleration that occurs when an object slows down.

Front

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a graph?

Back

The total distance traveled can be determined by calculating the area under the graph line on a distance-time graph.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a distance-time graph?

Back

The x-axis represents time.
