Lesson 10 Qualitative Graphs Review

Front

What does a flat section on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A flat section indicates that the object is not moving, meaning it is at rest.

Front

How can you determine the fastest speed on a speed graph?

Back

The fastest speed is indicated by the steepest slope on the graph.

Front

What does a positive slope on a distance graph represent?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance graph represent?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate on a distance graph?

Back

A zero slope indicates that the object is stationary and not changing its position.

Front

How can you find the distance traveled after a certain time on a distance graph?

Back

You can find the distance by looking at the value on the vertical axis at the given time on the horizontal axis.

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed.

Front

What does a gradual slope on a speed graph indicate?

Back

A gradual slope indicates a low speed.

Front

In a speed graph, what does a section with a downward slope indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does it mean if a section of a graph is horizontal?

Back

A horizontal section means that the speed is constant.
