Rocket Flight Graph Analysis

This video tutorial explains how to interpret a graph by identifying input and output variables, their units, and analyzing specific points on the graph. It covers finding maximum height, interpreting ordered pairs, and identifying vertical and horizontal intercepts. The tutorial also highlights where the graph is increasing, providing insights into the rocket's height over time.

What is the input variable in the graph, and what are its units?

• Time, seconds

• Distance, meters

• Height, feet

• Speed, miles per hour

What is the output variable in the graph, and what are its units?

• Time, seconds

• Height, feet

• Distance, meters

• Speed, miles per hour

After how many seconds does the rocket reach its maximum height?

• 3.5 seconds

• 1 second

• 5 seconds

• 7 seconds

At what height is the rocket after 5 seconds?

• 0 feet

• 100 feet

• 82 feet

• 50 feet

What does the ordered pair (0, 0) represent in the context of the rocket's flight?

• The rocket's starting point on the ground

• The rocket's maximum height

• The rocket's height after 5 seconds

• The rocket's landing point

What are the horizontal intercepts of the graph?

• (3.5, 100) and (5, 82)

• (1, 50) and (6, 50)

• (0, 0) and (7, 0)

• (0, 0) and (3.5, 100)

What does the horizontal intercept (7, 0) indicate about the rocket?

• The rocket's height after 3.5 seconds

• The rocket's landing point

• The rocket's starting point

• The rocket's maximum height

During which interval is the graph increasing?

• From 5 to 7 seconds

• From 1 to 6 seconds

• From 3.5 to 7 seconds

• From 0 to 3.5 seconds

What does it mean when the graph is increasing?

• The rocket is stationary

• The rocket is ascending

• The rocket is descending

• The rocket is at its maximum height

How long is the rocket in the air according to the graph?

• 10 seconds

• 7 seconds

• 5 seconds

• 3.5 seconds
