Which of the following best describes the slope of a displacement-time graph?
*
It represents velocity.
It represents acceleration.
It represents displacement.
It represents time.
If the displacement-time graph is a straight horizontal line, what does this indicate about the object's motion?
*
The object is moving at constant speed.
The object is stationary.
The object is accelerating.
The object is moving backward.
What does a steeper slope on a displacement-time graph indicate?
*
Higher velocity
Lower velocity
No motion
Constant acceleration
Given the following scenario: An object starts at 0 m, moves to 10 m in 5 seconds, then remains at 10 m for the next 5 seconds. Describe the shape of the displacement-time graph for this motion.
*
A straight line upward, then a horizontal line
A straight line downward, then a horizontal line
A curve upward, then a curve downward
A horizontal line, then a straight line upward
At what time(s) is the object's velocity zero on a displacement-time graph?
*
Where the graph is horizontal
Where the graph is steepest
Where the graph crosses the time axis
Where the graph has a positive slope
If a displacement-time graph is curved upwards, what does this indicate about the object's velocity?
*
The velocity is increasing (acceleration).
The velocity is decreasing (deceleration).
The object is stationary.
The object moves with constant velocity.
Briefly explain how you would determine the average velocity from a displacement-time graph.
