How to use these flashcards

Work through these flashcards in short sessions. Try to answer each prompt before flipping the card, then revisit any cards you miss until the explanation feels automatic.

Flashcard 1: What is the change in weight from $t=2$ to $t=7$ if the graph is horizontal at $15\,\text{N}$?

Answer: $0\,\text{N}$. Horizontal lines show no weight difference between any two points.

Flashcard 2: What is the slope of a weight graph line when weight remains the same?

Answer: Slope is $0$. No vertical change means rise over run equals zero.

Flashcard 3: What is the $y$-intercept on a constant-weight graph if the weight is always $8\,\text{N}$?

Answer: $8\,\text{N}$. The $y$-intercept equals the constant weight value.

Flashcard 4: What is the average rate of change if weight is $20\,\text{N}$ at both $t=1$ and $t=6$?

Answer: $0\,\text{N}$ per time unit. No change divided by time interval equals zero.

Flashcard 5: Identify the correct conclusion if a weight graph has slope $0$ between $t=3$ and $t=9$.

Answer: Weight is constant from $t=3$ to $t=9$. Zero slope indicates no change in weight.

Flashcard 6: What does the term constant weight mean when reading a graph?

Answer: The weight value does not change across the graph. Constant means unchanging or staying at the same value.

Flashcard 7: Which axis usually shows weight on a weight-versus-time graph: $x$-axis or $y$-axis?

Answer: $y$-axis. Weight is the dependent variable plotted vertically.

Flashcard 8: Identify the pattern: weights are $4, 4, 4, 4$ at times $1, 2, 3, 4$. What does the graph show?

Answer: A horizontal line; weight is constant. All weights equal $4$, creating a flat line.

Flashcard 9: Which comparison shows constant weight: $7,7,7,7$ or $7,8,7,8$ across equal time steps?

Answer: $7,7,7,7$. All values equal 7 shows no change; alternating values show change.

Flashcard 10: What does it mean if a weight graph is flat even though time increases?

Answer: Time changes, but weight does not change. Flat means weight stays constant as time progresses.

Flashcard 11: Identify the pattern: weight changes from $7$ to $7$ to $7$. What is the total change in weight?

Answer: Total change is $0$. $7 - 7 = 0$ for each step and overall.

Flashcard 12: Identify the constant weight shown by points $(1,5)$, $(2,5)$, and $(3,5)$ on a graph of weight vs time.

Answer: $5$. All y-coordinates equal 5, showing constant weight.

Flashcard 13: Identify the pattern in a table when weight stays the same across different times.

Answer: The weight values repeat (all equal). Constant weight means the same value appears in every row.

Flashcard 14: What word describes a graph pattern where the weight does not change as the x-value increases?

Answer: Constant. Constant means unchanging or staying the same.

Flashcard 15: Choose the correct statement if a graph line is horizontal at $y=0$ on a weight graph.

Answer: Weight is $0$ for all times shown. A horizontal line at $y=0$ means weight equals zero throughout.

Flashcard 16: Identify whether weight changes if the line on a weight graph slopes upward from left to right.

Answer: Yes; the weight increases. Upward slope means positive change in weight over time.

Flashcard 17: Choose the correct conclusion if points form a straight horizontal row at $W=4$ on the graph.

Answer: The weight stays the same at $4$. Points at the same height form a horizontal pattern.

Flashcard 18: Identify whether weight changes if the line on a weight graph slopes downward from left to right.

Answer: Yes; the weight decreases. Downward slope means negative change in weight over time.

Flashcard 19: Which graph best shows constant weight: a flat line at $y = 9$ or a line from $(0, 2)$ to $(4, 10)$?

Answer: A flat line at $y = 9$. The sloped line shows weight increasing from $2$ to $10$.

Flashcard 20: What does it mean if all plotted points have the same $y$-value on a weight graph?

Answer: Weight is the same for all measurements. Points at the same height show no weight variation.

Flashcard 21: Identify the constant weight: $(1, 3)$, $(2, 4)$, $(3, 5)$. Does weight remain the same?

Answer: No; weight increases. $y$-values go from $3$ to $4$ to $5$, showing increase.

Flashcard 22: Which graph pattern shows weight stays the same: horizontal, rising, or falling line?

Answer: Horizontal line. Only horizontal lines show no change in $y$-values.

Answer: $(1,5),(2,5),(3,5)$. All points have the same $y$-coordinate of $5$.

Flashcard 26: Which equation matches a constant weight of $8$ N for all times $t$?

Answer: $W = 8$. Constant weight means W equals the same value for all t.

Flashcard 27: What is the best description of a constant-weight trend on a bar graph?

Answer: All bars are the same height. Equal heights mean equal values across categories.

Flashcard 28: Which axis is typically used for weight on a weight-versus-time graph?

Answer: The y-axis (vertical axis). Weight is the dependent variable, plotted vertically.
