Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the spaces provided. Show all your work for calculations.
1. What does the slope of a displacement-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Velocity
Distance
Time
2. A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates:
Constant acceleration
Zero velocity
Constant velocity
Increasing velocity
3. The area under a velocity-time graph represents the .
4. An object moving with constant negative acceleration would have a sloping line on a velocity-time graph.
5. A curved line on a displacement-time graph indicates constant velocity.
True
False
6. The slope of an acceleration-time graph gives the change in velocity.
True
False
7. Describe the motion of an object if its displacement-time graph is a straight line with a positive slope.
8. Consider the following velocity-time graph:
a) Calculate the acceleration of the object between t = 0s and t = 2s.
b) What is the displacement of the object between t = 2s and t = 4s?
