FIZIX 1st Semester Review - Graphs

Front

What does a velocity vs time graph indicate about an object's motion?

Back

It shows how the velocity of an object changes over time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a distance vs time graph represent?

Back

The larger the speed of the object.

Front

How is acceleration defined in physics?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

Front

What does the area under a velocity vs time graph represent?

Back

Displacement of the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

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

Back

The object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance vs time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving backward.

Front

How can you determine the total distance traveled from a distance vs time graph?

Back

By looking at the total change in distance over the time interval.

Front

What is the significance of a zero slope on a distance vs time graph?

Back

It indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What does it mean if an object is 'speeding up' on a velocity vs time graph?

Back

The velocity is increasing over time.
