Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Use the provided graph to answer questions 1-3.
The graph below shows the velocity of a car over 10 seconds.
1. What was the car's initial velocity at 0 seconds?
2. During which time interval was the car moving at a constant velocity?
3. Was the car accelerating or decelerating between 0 and 2 seconds? Explain your answer.
4. On a velocity-time graph, what does a horizontal line indicate?
Acceleration
Deceleration
Constant velocity
At rest
5. A line segment sloping upwards on a velocity-time graph indicates .
6. If a car is slowing down, its velocity-time graph will show a line segment sloping .
7. A velocity-time graph can be used to determine the distance traveled.
True
False
8. Describe the motion of an object if its velocity-time graph is a straight line passing through the origin with a positive slope.
