Question 1.
What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens when speed increases or decreases.
Question 2.
What can be calculated from the area under a velocity-time graph?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how far the object has moved over the time.
3Question 3.
What does a vertical line on a velocity-time graph indicate?
- Constant velocity
- Instantaneous velocity
- Acceleration
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens if time is zero.
4Question 4.
True or False: The area under a velocity-time graph always represents distance.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider directions and dimensions in motion.
Question 5.
A car accelerates from rest to 30 m/s in 10 seconds. Draw the velocity-time graph, calculate the area under the curve for total displacement.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to use the area formula for a triangle.
Question 6.
An object moves with an acceleration of 4 m/s². Sketch an acceleration-time graph for the first 5 seconds; determine the displacement covered.
Show hintHide hint
Relate the constant acceleration to area calculation.
