Motion Graphs 2

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

• velocity

• time

• distance

• acceleration

If a velocity-time graph is a horizontal line, what can you say about the object's motion?

• The object is at rest.

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is decelerating.

• The object's motion is constant velocity.

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

• Find the area under the velocity-time graph.

• Divide the displacement by the time interval.

• Multiply the velocity by the time interval.

• Calculate the slope of the velocity-time graph.

What does a curved line on a position-time graph indicate about an object's motion?

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

• The object is moving in a straight line.

• The object's motion is changing its velocity or accelerating.

If a velocity-time graph has a positive slope, what can you say about the object's motion?

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving in the positive direction.

• The object is moving in the negative direction.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

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

• Find the average position of the object over the given time interval.

• Multiply the initial position by the final position.

• Divide the final position by the initial position.

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

What does a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicate about an object's motion?

• acceleration

• rest

• changing velocity

• constant velocity

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

• Calculate the slope of the graph.

• Find the area under the graph and divide it by the time taken.

• Count the number of points on the graph.

• Measure the distance traveled and divide it by the time taken.

What does a negative slope on a velocity-time graph indicate about an object's motion?

• The object is accelerating in the same direction as the positive axis.

• The object is moving in the opposite direction of the positive axis.

• The object is stationary.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

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

• Divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

• Find the slope of the line connecting two points on the graph.

• Count the number of points on the graph.

• Calculate the area under the graph.
