Review: Position-Time Graphs

Front

What is a Position-Time Graph?

Back

A graphical representation showing the position of an object over time.

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 curved line on a Position-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is accelerating.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of measurement for position in a Position-Time Graph?

Back

Meters (m).

Front

What does a steeper slope on a Position-Time Graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a Position-Time Graph?

Back

It represents the position of the object.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a Position-Time Graph?

Back

It represents time.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating from a Position-Time Graph?

Back

If the graph shows a curve, the object is accelerating.
