Q2QUIZ #1 - General Physics 1

1. On a distance-time graph, the steeper the line

• the slower the motion
• the further the distance
• the longer the time
• the faster the motion

2. A straight horizontal line on a speed-time graph means

• the object is slowing down
• the object is travelling at a constant speed
• the object is not moving
• the object is accelerating

3. The speedometer on your car measures

• average speed
• instantaneous speed
• average velocity
• instantaneous velocity

4. A line curving upwards on a speed-time graph represents

• the object is not moving
• the object is accelerating
• the object is travelling at a constant speed
• the object is slowing down
