Graphing Data

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed refers to the motion of an object that travels the same distance in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is deacceleration?

Back

Deacceleration, or negative acceleration, occurs when an object slows down, indicating a decrease in speed.

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

How do you determine significant figures in a number?

Back

Significant figures are determined by counting all non-zero digits, any zeros between them, and trailing zeros only if there is a decimal point.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

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

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

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 direction.

Front

How do you add numbers with different significant figures?

Back

When adding, the result should be rounded to the least number of decimal places of any number in the operation.

Front

What is the result of 3.11 x 2.1?

Back

6.53 (rounded to three significant figures).
