Velocity Time Graphs

Question 1

What does it mean when the line slopes upward in a straight line? (Velocity time graphs)

Answer 1

That means that there is constant acceleration.

Question 2

What does it mean when the line slopes downwards in a straight line? (Velocity time graphs)

Answer 2

That means there is a constant deceleration.

Question 3

What does it mean when a line is completely horizontal? (Velocity time graphs)

Answer 3

That means there is no acceleration. (Constant velocity)

Question 4

What does it mean when one line is steeper than another? (Velocity time graphs)

Answer 4

That means the steeper line has a greater acceleration.

Question 5

What is displacement?

Answer 5

Displacement is the distance between the starting point and the ending point (in a straight line)

Question 6

How can displacement be measured? (Velocity time graphs)

Answer 6

Displacement is the area under the graph.
