Front

What does a positive slope on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

Positive acceleration.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

Constant velocity.

Front

What does a negative slope on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

Negative acceleration.

Front

What does it mean if the velocity-time graph shows a line going downwards?

Back

The object is slowing down.

Front

What does it mean if the velocity-time graph shows a line going upwards?

Back

The object is speeding up.

Front

What is the significance of the area under the velocity-time graph?

Back

It represents the distance traveled.

Front

If an object is at rest, what would its velocity-time graph look like?

Back

A horizontal line at zero velocity.

Front

What does a steep slope on a velocity-time graph indicate?

Back

A greater acceleration.

Front

How can you tell if an object is moving at a constant speed on a velocity-time graph?

Back

The line is horizontal and above the zero velocity line.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph with a line that returns to the zero velocity line indicate?

Back

The object has stopped moving.
