Motion Maps with Acceleration Quiz

What is the primary addition to motion maps when considering acceleration?

• Additional rows of arrows for acceleration

• Additional velocity vectors

• Color-coded velocity vectors

• Time-stamped velocity points

In a motion map showing increasing speed in the positive direction, how are the velocity vectors represented?

• Vectors point in opposite directions

• Vectors increase in length

• Vectors decrease in length

• All vectors are the same length

When speed is increasing in the positive direction, what is true about the acceleration vectors?

• They vary in length

• They are of equal length and point in the same direction as velocity

• They point in the opposite direction of velocity

• They are shorter than velocity vectors

How is decreasing speed in the positive direction represented in terms of velocity vectors?

• Vectors remain constant

• Vectors point to the left

• Vectors decrease in length

• Vectors increase in length

In the case of decreasing speed in the positive direction, what is the direction of the acceleration vectors?

• Same as velocity

• Opposite to velocity

• Perpendicular to velocity

• Randomly oriented

What happens to the velocity vectors when speed is increasing in the negative direction?

• They increase in length

• They point to the right

• They decrease in length

• They remain constant

In the context of increasing speed in the negative direction, how are acceleration vectors oriented?

• They vary in direction

• They point to the right

• They point to the left

• They are perpendicular to velocity

When speed is decreasing in the negative direction, what is the relationship between velocity and acceleration vectors?

• They are perpendicular

• They are in the same direction

• They are randomly oriented

• They are in opposite directions

How is a stop represented in a motion map for decreasing speed in the negative direction?

• Acceleration vectors become zero

• Velocity vectors increase in length

• Velocity vectors become zero

• Velocity vectors point upwards

What is a key characteristic of acceleration vectors in a motion map with constant acceleration?
