Multiple Representations of Motion Worksheet

Multiple Representations of Motion

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?

2. The area under a velocity-time graph represents which physical quantity?

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.
