Velocity -Time Graph

Front

What does a positive velocity indicate about the direction of motion?

Back

The object is moving in the positive direction.

Front

What type of motion is represented by a velocity-time graph that shows a decreasing velocity?

Back

Slowing down.

Front

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

Back

Acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for velocity?

Back

m/s.

Front

What does the area under the line in a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

Displacement.

Front

If an object is at rest, what would its velocity-time graph look like?

Back

A horizontal line at zero velocity.

Front

How can you determine if an object is speeding up from a velocity-time graph?

Back

If the slope of the graph is increasing.

Front

What does a negative velocity indicate about the direction of motion?

Back

The object is moving in the negative direction.

Front

What happens to the velocity of an object if the acceleration is negative?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

How can you find the total displacement from a velocity-time graph?

Back

Calculate the area under the graph.
