Graph Interpretation Questions

Which type of graph is used to determine the constant velocity of an object?

• Displacement-time graph

• Velocity-time graph

• Acceleration-time graph

• Position-time graph

In a displacement-time graph for uniform motion, the slope represents:

• Acceleration

• Displacement

• Velocity

• Force

A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates:

• Constant velocity

• Zero velocity

• Uniform acceleration

• Non-uniform acceleration

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

• Velocity

• Displacement

• Acceleration

• Time

On a graph, if the slope of a displacement-time curve increases, this indicates:

• Negative acceleration

• Increasing velocity

• Constant velocity

• Decreasing velocity

A parabolic shape in a displacement-time graph corresponds to:

• Uniform motion

• Uniform acceleration

• Zero acceleration

• Negative velocity

The slope of a tangent to a displacement-time graph gives:

• Instantaneous velocity

• Average velocity

• Instantaneous acceleration

• Average acceleration

A straight line with a negative slope on a velocity-time graph indicates:

• Increasing speed

• Decreasing speed

• Constant speed

• Zero speed

If the velocity-time graph is horizontal at zero, it means:

• The object is accelerating

• The object is stationary

• The object is moving backward

• The object is moving with constant velocity

What does the area under an acceleration-time graph represent?

• Displacement

• Change in velocity

• Distance traveled

• Total time
