Slowing down away from the origin

c)

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

d)

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

6.

a)

Standing still

b)

Constant velocity of 60 m/min

c)

Constant velocity of 0 m/min

d)

Accelerating

7.

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

a)

No movement

b)

Constant velocity

c)

Changing velocity

d)

Change in direction

8.

a)

Nothing is happening

b)

Change in speed

c)

Change in position

d)

Change in direction

9.

Which segment shows an object speeding up towards the origin?

a)

A - B above the x-axis

b)

C - D below the x-axis

c)

C-D above the x-axis

d)

D - E

10.

Part D of the graph is from 55s to 95s. During Part D, the velocity values are all negative. What does negative velocity mean?

a)

The object is slowing down.

b)

The object is moving in the opposite direction now.

11.

Part C of the graph is from 35s to 55s. Which of these statements is true about Part C?

a)

The object is at rest.

b)

The object is accelerating (its velocity is increasing)

c)

The object is decelerating (its velocity is decreasing)

d)

The object is moving at a constant velocity.

12.

During section A of the graph (between 0s and 25s), the object is accelerating.

Change in velocity in this time = 3 - 0 = 3m/s

Time taken = 25 - 0 = 25s

What is its acceleration?

a)

Acceleration = Change in velocity x time = 3 x 25 = 75m/s2

b)

Acceleration = Change in velocity / time = 3/25 = 0.12m/s2
