Q2 Review Video: Understanding Motion Graphs

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate about the object's motion?

• The object is accelerating

• The object is moving at a constant speed

• The object is decelerating

• The object is stationary

What type of motion does a straight horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

• Decelerating

• Accelerating

• Constant speed

• Stationary

If a line on a distance-time graph is steep, what does it suggest about the object's speed?

• The object is moving quickly

• The object is moving at a constant speed

• The object is not moving

• The object is moving slowly

How do you calculate the speed of an object from a distance-time graph?

• Divide distance by time

• Divide time by distance

• Multiply distance by time

• Add distance to time

What is the formula to calculate speed from a distance-time graph?

• Speed = Distance + Time

• Speed = Distance / Time

• Speed = Time / Distance

• Speed = Distance * Time

What does a curve getting steeper on a motion graph indicate?

• The object is decelerating

• The object is stationary

• The object is accelerating

• The object is moving at a constant speed
