Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. Show all your work for calculation-based problems. This worksheet assesses your understanding of different representations of motion.
1. What does the slope of a position-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Velocity
Displacement
Time
2. The area under a velocity-time graph represents which physical quantity?
Acceleration
Velocity
Displacement
Speed
3. Describe the motion of an object if its position-time graph is a horizontal line.
4. Sketch a velocity-time graph for an object that is moving with a constant positive acceleration.
5. The equation for final velocity when acceleration is constant is v_f = v_i + a * .
6. The displacement of an object under constant acceleration can be found using Δx = v_i * t + 0.5 * a * .
7. A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
8. An object's motion is described by the position-time graph below. Draw the corresponding velocity-time graph.
