kinematic graphs

Front

What does a graph with a positive slope indicate?

Back

Increasing velocity.

Front

What does a graph with a horizontal line represent?

Back

No motion.

Front

How do you calculate total displacement from a kinematic graph?

Back

Total displacement is the difference between the final and initial positions.

Front

What does a graph with a negative slope indicate?

Back

Decreasing velocity.

Front

What does a steep slope on a position-time graph represent?

Back

Higher speed.

Front

What is the significance of the area under a velocity-time graph?

Back

It represents the total displacement.

Front

What does a curve on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

Changing acceleration.

Front

How can you determine if an object is accelerating from a graph?

Back

If the slope of the velocity-time graph is increasing, the object is accelerating.

Front

What does a flat line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

Constant velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

Back

Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time.
