Motion Graphs Quiz

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

• distance

• velocity

• time

• acceleration

If a position-time graph is a straight line with a positive slope, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is accelerating in the positive direction.

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving with a constant negative velocity.

• The object is moving with a constant positive velocity.

How can you determine the velocity of an object from a position-time graph?

• Find the area under the position-time graph.

• Count the number of points on the position-time graph.

• Divide the position by the time.

• Find the slope of the position-time graph.

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

• acceleration

• changing velocity

• rest

• constant velocity

If a velocity-time graph is a straight line with a negative slope, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving with a constant positive acceleration.

• The object is moving with a constant negative acceleration.

• The object is moving with a constant velocity.

How can you determine the acceleration of an object from a velocity-time graph?

• Calculate the slope of the velocity-time graph.

• Multiply the velocity by the time interval.

• Divide the displacement by the time interval.

• Find the area under the velocity-time graph.

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

• acceleration

• displacement

• speed

• time

If a position-time graph is a curve, what does it indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is moving in a straight line.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

• The object is at rest.

• The object's motion is not constant

How can you determine the displacement of an object from a position-time graph?

• Calculate the average velocity of the object.

• Find the difference between the initial and final positions of the object.

• Multiply the initial position by the final position.

• Find the slope of the position-time graph.

During which interval is the object not moving?

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