Graph practice
Practice with Distance vs. Time and Speed vs. Time graphs
Time is always plotted on this axis. | X-axis |
Distance or Speed is always plotted on this axis. | Y-axis |
On a speed vs. time graph, an upward sloping line shows ____________________. | positive acceleration |
What do you look at to determine if an object is increasing in acceleration on a speed vs. time graph? | line steepness |
On a speed vs. time graph, a straight line (ex: at 2 m/s) shows ______________________. | constant speed |
On a speed vs. time graph, a downward sloping line shows _________________. | negative acceleration |
On a speed vs. time graph, a horizontal line at zero shows the object is __________________. | stationary |
On a distance vs. time graph, a straight sloping line shows _______________________. | constant speed |
On a distance vs. time graph, a __________ line indicates a larger distance moved in a given time. | steeper |
On a distance vs. time graph, a flat horizontal line shows the object is _____________________. | stationary |
A curved line that shows increasing speed on a distance vs. time graph has __________________. | positive acceleration |
A curved line that shows decreasing speed on a distance vs. time graph has __________________. | negative acceleration |
On a distance vs. time graph, a downward sloping line shows constant speed _____________________. | returning to start |
