Velocity on a Graph

Select the description of motion from A - B.

• Slowing down away from the origin

• Speeding up away from the origin

• Constant velocity away from the origin

• Constant velocity towards the origin

What segment of the graph shows no motion, or standing still?

• A - B

• B - C

• C - D

• None

True or False: this graph shows several segments ALL with constant velocity.

• True

• False

Describe motion of C - D.

• Constant velocity away from the origin

• Slowing down away from the origin

• Slowing down away from the origin and then slowing down towards the origin

• Slowing down away from the origin and then speeding up towards from the origin

Describe the motion from B - C.

• Standing still

• Constant velocity of 60 m/min

• Constant velocity of 0 m/min

• Accelerating

What kind of line on a displacement - time graph would create the segment B - C on this V-T graph?

• Straight, linear line

• Horizontal line

• Curved line

• Wouldn't happen

Segment D - E would have come from what type of displacement - time graph line?

• Straight, linear

• Horizontal

• Curved

• Wouldn't happen

What does a horizontal line (not on the x-axis) mean on a V-T graph?

• No movement

• Constant velocity

• Changing velocity

• Change in direction

What is happening at 0 m/min in the middle of segment C - D?

• Nothing is happening

• Change in speed

• Change in position

• Change in direction

Which segment shows an object speeding up towards the origin?

• A - B above the x-axis

• C - D below the x-axis

• C-D above the x-axis

• D - E
