Physics Linear Motion Graphs Review

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• S = t/d
• S = d/t
• S = d x t
• S = t x d

Speed is different from velocity because

• Velocity has a direction
• Speed uses Distance /Time
• Velocity doesn't include time
• Velocity doesn't include distance

What is this graph showing?

• Constant Speed
• Acceleration (speeding up)
• Deceleration (slowing down)
• No motion

Which graph represents zero acceleration (constant velocity)?

• A
• B
• C
• D

Which graph shows the object standing still?

• A
• B
• C
• D

Which graph represents the greatest acceleration?

• A
• B
• C
• D

The picture of the position vs. time graph shows an object that is...

• accelerating/speeding up
• moving at a constant speed 
• not moving 
• accelerating/slowing down. 

How fast is the car traveling at 30 seconds?

• 5 m/s

• 10 m/s

• 20 m/s

• 30 m/s

How many times does this object STOP moving?

• None
• Once
• Twice
• Three times

What is happening at C?

• Stationary

• Accelerating

• Fast steady speed; moving away from the starting position

• Slower steady speed; moving away from the starting position
