1.3 | Graphs of Motion: Position vs. Time

The slope of a Position-Time graph line shows an object's

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Displacement

• Time of travel

Displacement is the total distance an object travels while it is moving.

• False

• True

When velocity of a moving object is constant, you will see:

• A straight line.

• A curved line.

• A line slanting up.

• A line slanting down.

When the velocity of a moving object is changing, you will see:

• A straight line.

• A curved line.

• A line slanting up.

• A line slanting down.

A line with a positive slope on a P-T Graph shows motion:

• Away from you

• Towards you

• Completely stopped

A line with a negative slope on a P-T Graph shows motion:

• Away from you

• Towards you

• Completely stopped

A flat line with no slope on a P-T Graph shows motion:

• Away from you

• Towards you

• Completely stopped

A line slanting "uphill" has a

• Positive slope

• Negative slope

A line slanting "downhill" shows a

• Positive slope

• Negative slope
