Motion Graphs Quiz

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

• time

• distance

• acceleration

• velocity

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 moving with a constant positive velocity.

• The object is accelerating in the positive direction.

• The object is moving with a constant negative velocity.

• The object is at rest.

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

• By finding the slope of the graph

• By measuring the length of the graph

• By counting the number of data points on the graph

• By finding the area under the graph

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

• acceleration

• constant velocity

• changing velocity

• no motion

If an acceleration-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 undergoing a constant positive acceleration.

• The object is undergoing a constant negative acceleration.

• The object is undergoing a constant velocity.
