Read each question carefully and provide your best answer based on the given information or graph. Show all your work for calculations.
1. A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate. Which of the following graphs best represents its velocity-time relationship?
A horizontal line
A straight line with a positive slope
A curve that increases exponentially
A curve that increases quadratically
2. In a displacement-time graph, what does a horizontal line indicate?
Constant velocity
Constant acceleration
Zero velocity
Increasing velocity
3. The area under a velocity-time graph represents the of an object.
4. The slope of a position-time graph gives the of the object.
5. A student conducts an experiment to determine the relationship between force and acceleration. They apply different forces to a constant mass and record the resulting accelerations. Describe how they could graphically represent their data to easily determine the mass of the object.
Use the graph below to answer the following questions.
6. What is the acceleration of the object between t = 0s and t = 2s?
7. Describe the motion of the object between t = 4s and t = 6s.
8. Calculate the total displacement of the object from t = 0s to t = 10s.
