WorksheetsReading Distance and Velocity Graphs
Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 1hrs 20mins
What information can a distance (or position) vs. time graph tell you? There may be more than one answer.
distance
time
velocity
acceleration
Slope of any graph equals...
(change in y)/(change in x)
rise/run
All of the above
None of the above
To find velocity...(hint: think about slope)
dt
d/t
s/t
a/t
A negative slope means the opposite
(a)
What does the slope of a VELOCITY vs time graph represent?
acceleration
distance
speed
velocity
A runner travels 3m in 1.5 seconds. How fast were they running?
4.5 m/s
0.5 m/s
2 m/s
none of the above
A car starts from rest and reaches a speed of 40 m/s after 2 seconds. What was the car's acceleration?
20 s2m
40 s2m
0.05 s2m
The graph shows the movement of an object.
How long did it take this object to travel 10 m?
0 s
10 s
15 s
20 s
Segment A-B The bus is _________________.
at rest
returning (to original position)
moving forward
How many times does this object have no acceleration?(no acceleration means velocity doesn't change so acceleration = 0 m/s2)
0
1
2
3
What is the rate of acceleration during the 3rd line segment? (slope between 15 - 40 sec)
0 m/s2
2.7 m/s2
6 m/s2
- 4 m/s2
A horse follows a dangling carrot for 20 m, if it took her 5 seconds to reach it, what was her average speed?
1,000 m/s
2.5 m/s
4 m/s
20 m/s
