Graphing #2 - Advanced Slope Flashcards
Describe the velocity at E.
The velocity has decreased until it is amost zero.
Describe the velocity of the object at E.
At E, the object has stopped, so it has zero velocity.
The word slope means ______________
Steepness
Describe the slope at point D
Small positive slope
As you go along the curve from A to E, the slope
Decreases
It goes from large negative to zero.
As you go from A to D, the slope
Increases.
It goes from a slope of zero to a large negative slope.
Describe the overall motion of this object.
Starts at rest in a negative position. It speeds up in the positive direction and passes the reference point.
Describe the velocity at E
Velocity at E is zero.
(the slope of a position/time graph IS the velocity)
Compare slopes at A and B
Both slopes are large and negative. A has a higher slope.
Describe the Slope
Contant zero slope
Describe the slope at point D
Small positive slope
Describe Slope at C
Slope at C is medium and negative
Describe position and velocity at point A
The object is at the reference point and has not yet started to move.
Describe the Slope
This is a medium constant negative slope.
Describe the slope or steepness at A.
Zero
Velocity at A
Zero
(remember, the slope of a position/time graph IS the velocity)
The slope at D is….
Large and Negative
Describe how the slope changes on this graph
The graph starts with a small positive slope. The slope increases until point “c” Then the slope begins to decrease.
The slope is positive at all times in this graph.
The slope at C is…
The slope at C is medium and positive
Describe how the slope changes
Negative Slope
Decreasing Slope
(We say the slope is “decreasing” when the “hill” is getting less steep.)
Describe the position at A
High positive position
Describe the velocity at A
High Positive Velocity
(Remember, the slope of a position time graph IS the velocity.)
Slope at E is….
Zero
Describe the Slope of the Purple Line
Medium Positive Constant Slope
Compare slopes at C and D.
Slopes at C and D are both large and negative. The slope at D is larger.
Velocity at C
Negative velocity
Describe the Slope
The slope is medium, positive, and constant.
Describe the slope or steepness at B
Small negative slope
How would you describe the slope (steepness) at point A?
High Positive Slope
Describe the velocity of the object at A.
The velocity of the object at point A is zero.
In a motion graph, how do we decide which variable to put on the horizontal axis?
“Time”
Always goes on the horizontal axis for motion graphs in Mr. Bixel’s physical science class.
Compare slopes at C and D
Both are negative slopes
C has a higher slope
Describe the Slope
The slope is constant and zero
How would you describe the slope (steepness) at point A?
High Positive Slope
Describe the Slope of the Blue Line
Constant Slope of Zero
Describe the Slope
The slope is zero
The slope is constant
Slope or Steepness at A is…..
The slope at A is large and negative
Describe the Slope or Steepness of this graph
Small, Positive and Constant
Compare the slope of the line at points A and B.
Both have a high positive slope, but A has the highest slope.
Describe the Slope
Medium
Constant
Negative
Describe the motion of the object at E.
The object is moving quite fast in the negative direction.
The slope at C is…
The slope at C is medium and positive
As you go from A to E, the slope…
Decreases
Compare slopes at C and D
Both are negative slopes
C has a higher slope
Compare the slope of the line at points A and B.
Both have a high positive slope, but A has the highest slope.
Position at E is….
The position at E is almost zero
(it is very slightly positive)
Describe the Slope
Medium, Constant, Positive.
Describe the velocity at point A
The velocity at point A is zero.
(This is a velocity graph!)
Describe the steepness or slope at A
Zero
Describe the position at point A
The position at point A is zero. The object is at the reference point.
Describe the slope as time goes on.
Initial large positive slope.
Slope decreases as time goes on
The slope at D is….
Large and Negative
Describe the slope or steepness at B
Small negative slope
The slope(steepness) at D is…
The slope at D is large and positive.
Describe the Slope
Zero
(I guess its constant too)
Describe the slope
The graph starts with a large positive slope. The slope decreases to zero. Then, the slope becomes increasingly negative.
The slope at B is….
The slope is small and positive at point B
The slope(steepness) at D is…
The slope at D is large and positive.
True or False?
This object changes direction.
True.
The initial velocity of the object is negative. The object changes direction somewhere between C and D, and then moves in the positive direction.
Describe the position at D
Positive
Describe the position and velocity at point D.
The object is moving quite fast in the negative direction and is far from the reference point.
