Graphs

Question 1

What does the gradient represent

Answer 1

Rise/run

Question 2

What part of the graph shows the most of what that gradient equals

Answer 2

The steepest gradient

Question 3

How do you find the distance travelled of a graph

Answer 3

Area under graph = distance travelled

D = A1 + A2

Question 4

Which directions on a graph show a positive/negative quantity

Answer 4

Positive - Up and Right

Negative- Down and left

Question 5

How do you find the displacement of a graph

Answer 5

Area under graph = displacement

Δs = A1 + A2

Question 6

How do you write units on graphs?

Answer 6

NOT WITH BRACKETS but a forward slash between the quantity and its unit

Question 7

How much of each axis of the graph should you use?

Answer 7

At least 50% if possible do 2/3

Question 8

What symbol do you use to plot points on a graph?

Answer 8

An X or a dot

Question 9

What must a LOBF or COBF look like?

Answer 9

Should be well rounded
The summation of distances above it should roughly equal to the summation of distances below
The COBF should be a smooth curve
