2. 1D Motion / Kinematics

Refer to Figure 4-1. The movement from point $A$ to point $B$ on the position vs. time graph is caused by which of the following changes in motion?

What does a $\mathrm{position}$ vs. $\mathrm{time}$ graph with a constant positive slope indicate about the motion of an object?

What type of growth is displayed in a $x/t$ graph if the graph is a straight line with a positive slope?

In a $x$ vs. $t$ graph, if the researchers hypothesized that the object moves with constant velocity, do the results in the graph support the researchers’ hypothesis?

Which statement is the most accurate explanation of the information on a $v-t$ graph?

Which of the following $v-t$ graphs represents an object having zero acceleration?

Given a position vs. time graph, what does the slope of the graph represent at the moment $t$ depicted in the diagram?

What does a $\mathrm{position}$ vs. $\mathrm{time}$ graph with a constant positive $\mathrm{slope}$ indicate about the motion of an object?

A bicycle moves such that its velocity increases linearly from $0$ to $8$ m/s over the interval $0\le t\le 4$ s. Which of the following acceleration vs. time graphs correctly represents this motion during that interval?

Which of these graphs shows the correct labels for the independent and dependent variables when graphing $\mathrm{position}$, $\mathrm{velocity}$, and $\mathrm{acceleration}$?

Which type of graph is typically used to plot the relationship between $\mathrm{dependent}$ and $\mathrm{independent}$ variables in physics?

In a graph of $\mathrm{position}$, $\mathrm{velocity}$, or $\mathrm{acceleration}$ versus $\mathrm{time}$, the independent variable (test variable) is located on which axis?

Which type of graph is most appropriate for plotting scientific data to show the relationship between $\mathrm{position}$, $\mathrm{velocity}$, and $\mathrm{acceleration}$ over $\mathrm{time}$?

In a position-time graph, what information is typically presented on the $y$-axis?

In a position vs. time graph, what is the best explanation for the curve's shape when it is a ${\mathrm{parabola}}^{\mathrm{}}$?
