Comapring Graphsb Flashcards
1
Q
What does a distance time graph show you ? And what can you work out from this ?
A
It shows you Time and distance and you can work out speed
2
Q
What does a distance time graph not show you
A
Acceleration
3
Q
What quantities are both time and distance so what do they just have ?
A
Scalar so they just have a magnitude (size)
4
Q
What does a velocity time graph show ?
A
Velocity and time
5
Q
What quantitie is velocity and what does it therefore have ?
A
Velocity is a vector so it has direction and a magnitude
6
Q
What quantity is time ? And what does it have ?
A
Time is scalar so therefore only has a magnitude
7
Q
What does a steep line show in a velocity time graph ?
A
A positive acceleration
8
Q
What can you work out from a velocity time graph ?
A
You can work out the velocity and time
