Graphical Representation of Motion

What does the slope of a position vs time graph tell you?

• initial position

• velocity

• final position

• the stopping point of an object

How do you find displacement from a velocity vs time graph?

• find the change in velocity

• add up velocity values of each horizontal line

• find the area under the curve

• determine the change in time for the entire graph

Which of the following figures represent uniform motion of a moving object correctly?

• 
• 
• 
• 

The velocity time graph of two bodies A and B traveling along the +x direction are given in the figure. Which body is moving with greater acceleration A or B?

• A

• B

During which interval is the object not moving?

• B to C
• C to D
• D to E
• only at point A

This is a velocity-time graph.  What is the object doing in segment A?

• Positive acceleration
• Negative acceleration
• Constant Velocity
• Not moving

This is a velocity-time graph.  What is the object doing in segment C?

• Positive acceleration
• Negative acceleration
• Constant Velocity
• Not moving

What does this graph represent?

• Constant speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving

Which of the following does NOT describe the given V-T graph?

• It has a constant positive velocity.

• It has a zero acceleration.

• The object is at rest.

Which of the following shows a positive constant acceleration?

• 
• 
•
