2024 Graphing Data Pretest

Front

What does a graph showing a starting point indicate?

Back

A graph can show the starting point of an object, indicating how far ahead or behind it is compared to another object.

Front

Who started out the fastest among the runners?

Back

Charlie started out the fastest.

Front

What happens to two skaters when they push off each other?

Back

The skater with the smaller mass (Skater 1) will have a greater speed than the skater with the larger mass (Skater 2) after they push off.

Front

How can you determine if an object is moving back to its original position on a graph?

Back

Look for the interval on the graph where the position value decreases, indicating the object is returning to its starting point.

Front

What percentage of energy in the United States comes from fossil fuels according to the pie chart?

Back

About 80% of energy in the United States comes from fossil fuels.

Front

What is a line graph used for?

Back

A line graph is used to show changes over time or the relationship between two variables.

Front

What does the slope of a line on a graph represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change; a steeper slope indicates a faster rate of change.

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.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, indicating how much motion an object has.

Front

How do you calculate the average speed of an object?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
