Qualitative graphs day 1

Front

What does a decreasing distance on a qualitative graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that the subject is moving closer to the starting point or returning to a previous location.

Front

What does a flat section on a qualitative graph represent?

Back

It represents a period of no movement or a constant state, such as being stopped.

Front

What is a linear interval on a graph?

Back

A linear interval is a section of the graph where the relationship between the variables is constant, resulting in a straight line.

Front

What is a non-linear interval on a graph?

Back

A non-linear interval is a section of the graph where the relationship between the variables changes, resulting in a curve.

Front

What can cause a person to stop moving in a qualitative graph?

Back

Possible reasons include being stopped in traffic, talking to someone, or taking a break.

Front

How can you identify a section where speed is constant on a graph?

Back

Look for a straight line that is not sloping up or down.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a steep slope?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high rate of change, such as moving quickly.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a qualitative graph indicate?

Back

It indicates that there is no change in distance over time, meaning the subject is stationary.

Front

How can you determine the direction of movement from a qualitative graph?

Back

By observing whether the distance is increasing or decreasing over time.

Front

What is the significance of section labels (like A, B, C) on a qualitative graph?

Back

Section labels help identify different phases of movement or behavior in the graph.
