Graphing Flashcards
Y versus X
Power curve
y = K x X(squared)
Y verus X
Root Curve
y = (root) X
Y verus X
Inverse Curve
y = K / X
what does a displacement vs Time (straight line graph) look like and mean?
any horizontal line on a displacement-time grap means the object is not moving
e.g. stationary
what does a displacement vs time graph look like is the object is moving? and mean?
An inclined straight line on a displacement-time grap means object is moving at a constant velocity. The steeper the line, the greater the velocity.
What does the velocity-time graph look when te displacement - time looks like this?
What does an inclined straight line velocity ve time graph look like and mean?
It indicates that it is changing its velocity at a constant rate. The steeper the line, the greater the acceleration
if an inclined velocity vs time graph was given what does the acceleration vs time?
When will a displacement vs time graph be curved?
When an object is accelerating (speeding or slowing)
gradient of a displacement vs time graph
detaX / detaT
gradient of a velocity vs time graph
deta V / detaT
the area of velocity vs time graph
V x T
area of acceleration vs time graph
change in velocity
