Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show your work where applicable. Refer to the provided velocity-time graph for questions in Section A.
Section A: Graph Analysis
The graph below shows the velocity of a car over a period of 10 seconds.
1. What is the initial velocity of the car?
2. During which time interval is the car accelerating?
3. Calculate the acceleration of the car between 0 and 4 seconds.
Section B: Multiple Choice
1. What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
Displacement
Distance
Acceleration
Speed
2. A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates:
Constant acceleration
Constant velocity
No motion
Increasing velocity
Section C: Fill in the Blanks
1. The area under a velocity-time graph represents the .
2. When a velocity-time graph shows a line sloping downwards, the object is .
3. A straight line on a velocity-time graph means the acceleration is .
Section D: Short Answer
1. Describe the motion of an object if its velocity-time graph is a straight line passing through the origin with a positive slope.
2. Can an object have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration? Explain your answer.
