Velocity - Time Graph

Front

What do velocity time graphs show?

Back

Change of velocity over time.

Front

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

Back

The object is accelerating.

Front

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

Back

The object is decelerating.

Front

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

Back

Constant speed (velocity).

Front

What does the area under the velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The distance traveled.

Front

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

Back

The object is accelerating quickly.

Front

What does a flat line at zero velocity indicate?

Back

The object is at rest.

Front

Between which points did the object move at a constant speed?

Back

Look for a horizontal line on the graph.

Front

What does a line that slopes downwards represent?

Back

Constant negative acceleration.

Front

What does it mean if the velocity-time graph crosses the time axis?

Back

The object has changed direction.
