Understanding Motion Graphs

What is the relationship between velocity and position graphs?

• Velocity is the integral of the position graph.

• Velocity is the slope of the position graph.

• Velocity is the area under the position graph.

• Velocity is unrelated to the position graph.

How does a constant positive slope on a position-time graph translate to a velocity-time graph?

• A constant positive velocity.

• A constant negative velocity.

• A zero velocity.

• A changing velocity.

What is the purpose of drawing tangent lines on a curved position-time graph?

• To identify the maximum velocity.

• To calculate the total distance traveled.

• To determine the slope at specific points.

• To find the area under the curve.

What does a curved position-time graph indicate about velocity?

• Velocity is negative.

• Velocity is zero.

• Velocity is changing.

• Velocity is constant.

When translating from a velocity-time graph to a position-time graph, what does a zero velocity indicate?

• A constant positive slope.

• A constant negative slope.

• A zero slope.

• A changing slope.

How is acceleration represented on a velocity-time graph?

• As the slope of the velocity graph.

• As the area under the velocity graph.

• As the derivative of the velocity graph.

• As the integral of the velocity graph.

What does a constant positive acceleration indicate on a velocity-time graph?

• A velocity that decreases linearly.

• A velocity that increases linearly.

• A constant negative velocity.

• A constant positive velocity.

How can the area under a velocity-time graph be interpreted?

• As the change in acceleration.

• As the change in position.

• As the change in slope.

• As the change in time.

What does a zero slope on a velocity-time graph indicate about acceleration?

• Acceleration is positive.

• Acceleration is negative.

• Acceleration is zero.

• Acceleration is changing.

In translating graphs, what does a negative slope on a velocity-time graph indicate about acceleration?

• Acceleration is negative.

• Acceleration is positive.

• Acceleration is zero.

• Acceleration is constant.
