Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.
1. What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
2. What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?
Use the velocity-time graph below to answer questions 3-5.
3. Calculate the acceleration of the object between t = 0s and t = 2s.
4. During which time interval(s) is the object moving at a constant velocity?
5. What is the displacement of the object between t = 2s and t = 4s?
6. A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates acceleration.
7. A line sloping upwards on a velocity-time graph indicates acceleration.
8. A line sloping downwards on a velocity-time graph indicates acceleration.
9. Which of the following velocity-time graphs represents an object at rest?
10. An object starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a velocity of 20 m/s in 5 seconds. It then travels at this constant velocity for 3 seconds before decelerating uniformly to rest in another 2 seconds. Sketch the velocity-time graph for this motion.
