Velocity vs Time Graphs

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What does a velocity of 0 m/min indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is not moving at that moment.

Front

What does a positive velocity indicate?

Back

A positive velocity indicates that the object is moving in the forward direction.

Front

What does a negative velocity indicate?

Back

A negative velocity indicates that the object is moving in the reverse direction.

Front

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

Back

The slope represents acceleration.

Front

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

Back

It indicates that the object is moving at a constant velocity.

Front

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

Back

It indicates a high acceleration.

Front

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

Back

It indicates that the object is moving backward at a constant speed.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What does a changing acceleration look like on a velocity-time graph?

Back

It appears as a curve or a line that is not straight.
