Story Graphs

Front

What is a story graph?

Back

A visual representation of a story's events, showing how the distance or speed of an object changes over time.

Front

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

Back

It indicates that the object is moving at the same speed without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows acceleration?

Back

It means the object is increasing its speed over time.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows deceleration?

Back

It means the object is decreasing its speed over time.

Front

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

Back

It represents that the object is not moving.

Front

How can you tell if an object is speeding up on a graph?

Back

The slope of the graph is increasing, indicating that the distance is increasing more rapidly over time.

Front

How can you tell if an object is slowing down on a graph?

Back

The slope of the graph is decreasing, indicating that the distance is increasing less rapidly over time.

Front

What does an increasing distance on a graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

What does a decreasing distance on a graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

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

Back

It indicates a high speed of the object.
