2024 Graphing Data Pretest

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A visual representation of data that shows the relationship between different variables.

Front

What does it mean for a student to walk at a constant speed?

Back

It means the student covers equal distances in equal intervals of time without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What happens to a graph when a student stops walking?

Back

The graph will show a flat line during the time the student is stopped, indicating no change in position.

Front

How can you tell if a student is walking faster on a graph?

Back

A steeper slope on the graph indicates that the student is walking faster.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

How can you identify the point of highest kinetic energy on a graph?

Back

The point with the steepest slope or the highest speed indicates the highest kinetic energy.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a graph represent?

Back

A horizontal line represents a constant position, meaning the object is not moving.

Front

What does it mean for runners to move at the same speed on a graph?

Back

It means their graphs will have the same slope, indicating they cover equal distances in equal times.

Front

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

Back

The x-axis typically represents time in motion graphs.

Front

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

Back

The y-axis typically represents distance or position in motion graphs.
