What does a negative slope on a position-time graph indicate about the object's motion?
The object is moving in the negative direction.
The object is at rest
The object is accelerating
The object is moving at a constant speed
If the slope of a position-time graph is 0, what does this imply about the object's velocity?
The object's velocity is increasing.
The object's velocity is 0.
The object's velocity is decreasing.
The object's velocity is constant but not necessarily 0.
From a velocity-time graph, how can you determine if an object is accelerating?
Check for a decrease in velocity.
Look for a curve in the velocity-time graph.
Look for a straight line in the velocity-time graph.
Look for a constant velocity.
Explain how the slope of a position-time graph can be used to determine the velocity of an object.
Velocity is calculated by dividing position by time, not by slope
The slope of a position-time graph indicates acceleration, not velocity
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.
The slope of a position-time graph is irrelevant to determining velocity
If the slope of a velocity-time graph is constant, what does this indicate about the object's acceleration?
Zero acceleration
Constant acceleration
Increasing acceleration
Negative acceleration
