How might you use a graph to make a prediction?
A graph can make it much easier to notice trends that are not as obvious when viewing the raw data, which makes it much easier to make predictions. Include a large sample of data in the graph. Many industries ebb and flow in the short run but show a consistent trend over the long haul.
How can you predict an object’s motion?
The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.
What can motion graphs be used for?
The graphs of distance, velocity and acceleration as functions of time below were calculated for one-dimensional motion using the motion equations in a spreadsheet. The acceleration does change, but it is constant within a given time segment so that the constant acceleration equations can be used.
What do motion graphs tell?
The slope of a motion graph tells us the rate of change of the variable on the vertical axis, so we can understand velocity as the slope of the position vs. time graph.
What is it called when you make predictions within given data?
allowing the viewer to make predictions within recorded data, called interpolation, and to make predictions about data not yet recorded, called extrapolation.
When can you predict a motion that comes next example?
Predicting Motion: Patterns of motion can be used to make predictions. If we know the pattern that a moving object is following, we can make predictions about where it will be in the future. For example, when you jump rope you are using the pattern to predict when to jump.
How can one predict an object’s continued motion changes in motion or stability?
How can one predict an object’s continued motion, changes in motion, or stability? Interactions of an object with another object can be explained and predicted using the concept of forces, which can cause a change in motion of one or both of the interacting objects.
When would you use a bar graph?
Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.
