Accelerated Position Time Graphs

The picture of the position vs. time graph shows an object that is...

• accelerating/speeding up
• moving at a constant speed 
• not moving 
• accelerating/slowing down. 

Acceleration only takes place when things speed up. 

• True
• False

Determine the motion of the car.

• at rest 
• moving at constant speed
• speeding up
• slowing down

Which sections of the graph shows an object in motion? Choose all that apply.

• AB, CD, GH

• BC, DE, FG

• AB, CD, EF, GH

Which sections of the graph show constant velocity? Choose all that apply.

• AB, CD, GH

• BC, DE, FG

• AB, CD, EF, GH

Which sections of the graph show an object accelerating? Choose all that apply.

Use the picture above to choose the most accurate description of the object's motion

• object is speeding up in the positive direction

• object is slowing down in the positive direction

• object is speeding up in the negative direction

• object is slowing down in the negative direction
