Acceleration Graphing

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What does a positive velocity indicate?

Back

A positive velocity indicates that an object is moving in the positive direction.

Front

What does a negative velocity indicate?

Back

A negative velocity indicates that an object is moving in the negative direction.

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

Back

It means that the object's velocity is changing over time.

Front

What does a flat line on a velocity graph represent?

Back

A flat line represents constant velocity, meaning the object is moving at a steady speed.

Front

What does a downward slope on a velocity graph indicate?

Back

A downward slope indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does an upward slope on a velocity graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is speeding up.

Front

What is zero acceleration?

Back

Zero acceleration occurs when an object moves at a constant velocity without changing speed or direction.

Front

How can you identify acceleration on a graph?

Back

Acceleration can be identified by sections of the graph where the slope is changing.

Front

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement of the object.
