Accepted Answer

$$ 10 \mathrm{\ m} $$

Question 4

On a velocity-time graph, what does the area under the curve between two time points represent?

Accepted Answer

$$ -1 \mathrm{\ m/s^2$} $$

Question 6

A position-time graph shows a straight line with a negative slope. What does this indicate about the object's motion?

Accepted Answer

The object is moving in the negative direction at a constant velocity.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

$$ -0.4 \mathrm{\ m/s} $$

Question 8

Accepted Answer

The object is decelerating.

Question 11

An object moves with a velocity described by $$ v(t) = 2t $$ from $$ t = 0  to$$ $$ t = 3 $$ seconds. What is its displacement during this interval?

Accepted Answer

$$ 9 \mathrm{\ m} $$

Question 12

A student calculates the displacement from a velocity-time graph by finding the area under the curve. Why is this method valid?

Accepted Answer

Because the area under the curve represents the object's change in position.

Accepted Answer

$$ 10 \mathrm{\ m} $$

Question 16

Which of the following statements is true about instantaneous velocity?

Accepted Answer

It is the slope of the tangent line to the position-time graph at a given point.

Question 17

A runner's position-time graph is a curve that gets steeper over time. What does this indicate about the runner's motion?

Accepted Answer

The runner is accelerating.

Question 18

If the area under a velocity-time graph from $$ t = 0  to$$ $$ t = 5 $$ seconds is $$ 15 \mathrm{\ m} $$, what is the object's displacement during this interval?
