V vs. t Graphs Review

Front

What does the slope of a velocity vs. time (v-t) graph represent?

Back

The slope represents acceleration.

Front

What does a positive slope on a v-t graph indicate about acceleration?

Back

It indicates positive acceleration.

Front

What does a negative slope on a v-t graph indicate about acceleration?

Back

It indicates negative acceleration.

Front

If the velocity is increasing, how is the object moving?

Back

The object is speeding up.

Front

If the velocity is decreasing, how is the object moving?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a v-t graph indicate about the object's motion?

Back

The object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What does a v-t graph with a slope of zero indicate?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

How can you determine the displacement from a v-t graph?

Back

Displacement can be found by calculating the area under the curve of the graph.

Front

What does the area above the time axis on a v-t graph represent?

Back

It represents positive displacement.

Front

What does the area below the time axis on a v-t graph represent?

Back

It represents negative displacement.
