Front

What does a curved line on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is moving with changing velocity.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a position vs. time graph represent?

Back

The object is moving faster.

Front

What does a flat slope on a position vs. time graph represent?

Back

Front

How can you determine if an object is speeding up from a position vs. time graph?

Back

The slope of the graph is increasing.

Front

How can you determine if an object is slowing down from a position vs. time graph?

Back

The slope of the graph is decreasing.

Front

What is the relationship between position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs?

Back

The slope of a position vs. time graph represents velocity.

Front
