1. Consider the velocity-time graph below. Describe the motion of the object during each segment (A, B, C).
Segment A:
Segment B:
Segment C:
2. Using the graph from Question 1:
a) The acceleration during segment A is m/s².
b) The displacement during segment B is m.
c) The total displacement from t=0s to t=20s is m.
3. What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Displacement
Speed
Time
4. A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is at rest.
True
False
5. An object starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 20 m/s in 4 seconds. It then maintains this velocity for 6 seconds, and finally decelerates uniformly to rest in 2 seconds. Sketch the velocity-time graph for this motion.
