Motion Graph Practice

Front

What does an increasing speed graph look like?

Back

An increasing speed graph shows a line that slopes upwards, indicating that the object is moving faster over time.

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A constant speed graph is represented by a straight, diagonal line, indicating that the object is moving at the same speed throughout.

Front

What does a decreasing speed graph look like?

Back

A decreasing speed graph shows a line that slopes downwards, indicating that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does a stationary object graph look like?

Back

A stationary object graph is represented by a horizontal line, indicating that the object is not moving.

Front

Which line represents an object moving at a faster speed?

Back

The steeper the line, the faster the speed. Line A is steeper than line B.

Front

How can you tell if an object is moving faster or slower in a graph?

Back

You can compare the slopes of the lines; a steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a gentler slope indicates a slower speed.

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

Speed (S) = Distance (d) / Time (t) or S = d/t.

Front

If an object travels 100 meters in 5 seconds, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 100 meters / 5 seconds = 20 meters per second.

Front

What does segment N represent if it is slower than segment L?

Back

Segment N represents a part of the graph where the slope is less steep than segment L, indicating a slower speed.

Front

During which segment is the object moving at the fastest speed?

Back

The segment with the steepest slope represents the fastest speed.
