Motion Graph Quiz

How can you calculate speed from a distance-time graph?

• Count the number of points on the graph

• Find the area under the graph

• Calculate the slope of the line on the distance-time graph.

• Measure the width of the graph

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

• The slope represents the weight of the object

• The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity of an object.

• The slope represents the color of the object

• The slope represents the temperature of the object

If a distance-time graph has a straight line with a positive slope, what does it indicate about the motion?

• Motion at rest

• Constant speed motion

• Acceleration motion

• Negative speed motion

In a distance-time graph, how can you identify constant speed?

• A graph with varying slopes

• A straight line with a constant slope indicates constant speed.

• A graph with no slope

• A curved line on the graph

If the slope of a distance-time graph is steeper, what does it imply about the speed?

• Slower

• Constant

• Faster

• Unchanged

Explain the relationship between the slope of a distance-time graph and the speed of an object.

• The slope of a distance-time graph is inversely related to the speed of an object.

• The slope of a distance-time graph is only related to the acceleration of an object.

• The slope of a distance-time graph has no impact on the speed of an object.

• The slope of a distance-time graph is directly related to the speed of an object.

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate about the motion?

• The object is moving at a constant speed

• The object is changing direction

• The object is at rest.

• The object is accelerating

If a distance-time graph has a curve, what does it suggest about the speed of the object?

• The speed of the object is constant.

• The speed of the object is not constant.

• The object is stationary.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

How does the speed of an object change if the distance-time graph is a straight line?

• Constant

• Exponential

• Decreasing

• Increasing

What information can you gather about the motion of an object from a distance-time graph?

• Color, weight, size

• Speed, direction, acceleration

• Temperature, humidity, pressure

• Volume, density, mass
