What variable almost always go on the x axis for motion graphs?

• Time

• distance/position/displacement

• velocity

• acceleration

How is deceleration shown on an velocity-time graph?

• downward slope

• upward slope

• a flat line

• a steeper slope

What does the slope represent on a velocity-time graph?

• acceleration

• time

• distance/displacement/position

• velocity

How does a velocity time graph show an object is stopped?

• on the x axis

• on the y axis

• a flat line

• a downward slope

What does it mean when a velocity-time graph goes below the x axis?

• moving opposite direction

• deceleration

• stopped

• slower acceleration

a negative acceleration means the object is...

• slowing down

• driving the opposite direction

• has to be stopping

• accelerating at a slower rate

If an object increases its acceleration, how would this show on a graph?

• slope would get steeper

• slope would get less steep

• slope would be flat

• slope would reverse directions
