Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. Show all your work for calculations.
1. What does the slope of a position-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Velocity
Displacement
Time
2. A car moving with constant velocity will have a on a velocity-time graph.
Horizontal line
Sloped line
Curved line
Vertical line
3. The area under a velocity-time graph represents the .
4. An object undergoing constant acceleration will have a position-time graph.
5. Describe the motion of an object if its position-time graph is a horizontal line.
6. How can you determine if an object is momentarily at rest from its velocity-time graph?
7. A negative acceleration always means an object is slowing down.
True
False
8. The slope of an acceleration-time graph represents velocity.
True
False
9. Draw a position-time graph for an object that starts at rest, accelerates uniformly for a short period, then moves at a constant velocity, and finally decelerates uniformly back to rest.
