Position velocity time graph

Front

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

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a Position-time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does a curve that slopes upwards indicate on a Position-time graph?

Back

The object is speeding up.

Front

What does a curve that slopes downwards indicate on a Position-time graph?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

What does a vertical line on a Position-time graph represent?

Back

This is not possible in real motion; it would imply infinite speed.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a Position-time graph?

Back

The speed is the slope of the line on the graph.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving in the negative direction (to the left).

Front

What does a flat line followed by a steep line indicate on a Position-time graph?

Back

The object was at rest and then started moving quickly.

Front

What is the significance of the area under the curve in a Position-time graph?

Back

The area under the curve does not have a direct physical meaning in Position-time graphs.

Front

What does a Position-time graph with multiple segments indicate?

Back

The object has undergone different types of motion (e.g., rest, constant speed, acceleration).
