velocity-time graphs

1) What is the meaning of slope on a v-t graph?

2) How would you find displacement on a v-t graph?

3) How can you tell when the object on the graph is moving forward?

4) How can you tell when the object is not moving?

5) How can you tell when the object is speeding up? Slowing down?

6) What was the acceleration from time t = 4 s to t = 8 s?

7) What was the acceleration from time t = 0 s to t = 8 s?

8) What was the average acceleration for the entire trip?

9) What was the instantaneous velocity at 6 s?

10) What was the average velocity between t = 0 s and t = 4 s?

11) What was the object’s displacement from time t = 0 s to t = 2 s?

12) What was the object’s displacement from time t = 4 s to t = 10 s?

13) What was the average velocity between t = 4 s and t = 10 s? (Be careful with this one. Remember, velocity equals displacement’s rate of change.)

14) What was the average velocity over the entire graph?

15) What was the average speed over the entire graph? (It’s another tricky one. Remember, velocity involves displacement, but speed involves distance.)

16) Between which times is the car moving forwards?

17) When is the car not moving?
