Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work where applicable. This worksheet covers displacement-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs.
1. What does the slope of a displacement-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Velocity
Distance
Time
2. A horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates:
Increasing acceleration
Constant velocity
Zero velocity
Decreasing velocity
1. The area under an acceleration-time graph represents displacement.
True
False
1. A curved line on a displacement-time graph indicates motion.
2. The area under a velocity-time graph represents the .
1. Describe the motion of an object whose velocity-time graph is a straight line with a negative slope.
Analyze the following velocity-time graph and answer the questions below.
a) What is the acceleration between t = 0s and t = 4s?
b) What is the total displacement of the object from t = 0s to t = 12s?
Match the graph segment description with the corresponding motion type.
1. Straight horizontal line on a velocity-time graph
a. Constant positive acceleration
2. Straight diagonal line (upwards) on a velocity-time graph
b. Constant velocity
3. Curved line on a displacement-time graph
c. Non-uniform velocity (acceleration)
