Velocity Time Graph

Front

What does the line on a velocity-time graph represent when it is sloping downwards?

Back

Constant negative acceleration.

Front

Between which two points on a velocity-time graph is the object moving at a constant velocity?

Back

The segment labeled AB.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

Constant velocity.

Front

What does a line sloping upwards on a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

Constant acceleration.

Front

How do you calculate the speed of an object between two points on a velocity-time graph?

Back

By finding the difference in velocity over the time interval.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What does a vertical line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

An instantaneous change in velocity.

Front

If an object has a velocity of 5 m/s south, what can we say about its motion?

Back

It has a velocity with a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What does a negative slope on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

The object is decelerating or experiencing negative acceleration.
