75 meters

b)

25 meters

c)

100 meters

6.

What does a negative slope on a position-time graph indicate about the object's motion?

a)

The object is moving in the negative direction.

b)

The object is at rest

c)

The object is accelerating

d)

The object is moving at a constant speed

7.

If the slope of a position-time graph is 0, what does this imply about the object's velocity?

a)

The object's velocity is increasing.

b)

The object's velocity is 0.

c)

The object's velocity is decreasing.

d)

The object's velocity is constant but not necessarily 0.

8.

From a velocity-time graph, how can you determine if an object is accelerating?

a)

Check for a decrease in velocity.

b)

Look for a curve in the velocity-time graph.

c)

Look for a straight line in the velocity-time graph.

d)

Look for a constant velocity.

9.

Explain how the slope of a position-time graph can be used to determine the velocity of an object.

a)

Velocity is calculated by dividing position by time, not by slope

b)

The slope of a position-time graph indicates acceleration, not velocity

c)

The slope of a position-time graph can be used to determine the velocity of an object by calculating the rate of change of position.

d)

The slope of a position-time graph is irrelevant to determining velocity

10.
