Description of Motion and Motion Graph Matching

What are the significance of the slope of a velocity vs. time graph?

• Flat line means going constant

• Flat line on zero line means not moving

• Negative and Positive slope means either speeding or slowing down.

• Positive region of the graph means going toward

• Negative region of the graph means going away

What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a velocity vs. time graph is zero?

• constant

• not moving if on the zero line

• not moving at all

• speeding up

• slowing down

What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a velocity vs. time graph is not zero?

• Speeding up

• Slowing down

• Going toward

• Going away

What is the velocity of the object that created the position vs. time graph?

• 10 m/s

• 6 m/s

• 8.3 m/s

• 60 m

What is the velocity?

• 0 m/s
• positive m/s
• negative m/s
• decreasing

What does this graph represent?

• Constant speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving

Describe the motion

• Slow to fast;   Negative direction
• Fast to slow;   Negative direction
• Fast to slow;   Positive direction
• Slow to fast;   Positive direction

The picture of the position vs. time graph shows an object that is...

• accelerating/speeding up
• moving at a constant speed 
• not moving 
• accelerating/slowing down.
