Velocity Time Graphs

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

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

Back

A positive slope represents acceleration.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope represents deceleration.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration from a velocity-time graph?

Back

Acceleration is calculated as the change in velocity divided by the time taken.

Front

What is the formula for average acceleration?

Back

Average acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

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

Back

The area under the graph represents the distance traveled.

Front

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

Back

A steep slope indicates a high rate of acceleration.

Front

What is deceleration?

Back

Deceleration is a decrease in velocity over time.

Front

What does the gradient of a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The gradient represents acceleration.
