Qualitative Graphs 1

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph is a visual representation that shows the relationship between two variables without using numerical values, focusing instead on the general trends and behaviors.

Front

What does a flat section on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat section indicates that the object is stationary and not moving.

Front

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

Back

A rising slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, increasing its distance over time.

Front

What does a falling slope on a distance-time graph signify?

Back

A falling slope signifies that the object is moving back towards the starting point, decreasing its distance over time.

Front

How can you tell if someone is moving faster on a distance-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the line is steeper, it indicates that the person is moving faster.

Front

What does a vertical line on a distance-time graph mean?

Back

A vertical line indicates an instantaneous change in position, which is not physically possible in real scenarios.

Front

What does a section of a graph where the line is horizontal followed by a steep line indicate?

Back

This indicates that the object was stationary for a period and then started moving quickly.

Front

What does a decrease in speed look like on a speed-time graph?

Back

A decrease in speed is represented by a downward slope on a speed-time graph.

Front

What does an increase in speed look like on a speed-time graph?

Back

An increase in speed is represented by an upward slope on a speed-time graph.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a constant speed?

Back

A constant speed is shown by a straight, diagonal line on a distance-time graph.
