Review Motion Graphs

Front

What does negative acceleration indicate about an object's motion?

Back

Slowing down.

Front

What type of motion is represented by a graph showing a straight line with a positive slope?

Back

Acceleration.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph represent?

Back

Constant speed.

Front

How can you determine the distance traveled by an object from a motion graph?

Back

By looking at the position at a specific time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

If an object is moving at a constant speed, what does its motion graph look like?

Back

A straight line with a constant slope.

Front

What does a downward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

Deceleration (slowing down).

Front

What is the speed of an object if it travels 20 meters in 4 seconds?

Back

5 m/s.

Front

What does it mean if an object has zero acceleration?

Back

The object is either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

How can you identify acceleration on a motion graph?

Back

By observing a change in the slope of the line.
