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 of the data.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a steep slope on a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high rate of acceleration or deceleration.

Front

How can you tell if an object is moving at a constant speed on a graph?

Back

If the graph is a straight line with a consistent slope, the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting point.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a curve?

Back

A curve indicates that the speed of the object is changing; it may be accelerating or decelerating.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a distance-time graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the distance traveled by the object.

Front

What does the x-axis represent on a speed-time graph?

Back

The x-axis represents time.

Front

What can you infer if a graph shows a section where the line is horizontal?

Back

It indicates that the object is stationary during that time period.

Front

What does a sudden drop in a speed-time graph indicate?

Back

A sudden drop indicates a rapid deceleration or stop.
