What does the slope of a position vs time graph represent?

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Distance

If there is no slope shown on a velocity vs time graph (just a horizontal line) what does this tell you about the object?

• The object is moving at a constant acceleration

• The object is moving at a constant velocity

• The object is not moving at all

What happened during C to D point?

• not moving

• increasing speed at a constant rate

• moving at a constant speed
