Given a $v$-time graph where $v$ increases linearly with $t$, what does the slope of the graph represent?

On a $d-t$ graph, which type of gradient indicates that an object is moving with constant velocity?

Two cars, Car A and Car B, start from rest at the same time. Car A moves with a constant velocity of $2.0m/s$, while Car B starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at $1.0m/s^2$. If the finish line is $1.0m$ away from the starting point, which car crosses the finish line first?

If the graphs of the velocity functions of two particles are shown as straight lines with different slopes, where $t$ is measured in seconds, what does the difference in slopes of the velocity-time graphs represent?

A car's motion is represented on a $v-t$ graph with four labeled instants: $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$. At which labeled instant is the speed of the car greatest?

Which $v-t$ graph best represents a bicyclist pedaling away from an observer at a constant speed?

Given a $v$-$t$ (velocity-time) graph with four trials, each showing the velocity $v$ of an object as a function of time $t$, during which trial or trials is the object's velocity not constant?

Which of the following $v-t$ graphs represents an object with constant nonzero acceleration?

On a $v-t$ graph, which part of the graph represents the object moving at a constant velocity?

Given a $v-t$ graph for a motorcycle where speedometer readings are recorded every $12$ seconds, what does the slope of the graph represent?

Suppose two rockets, Rocket A and Rocket B, have velocity-time graphs given by $v_A=2t+5$ and $v_B=7t-3$ respectively, where $t$ is in seconds and velocity is in m/s. At what time(s) do the rockets have the same velocity?

If a car has a negative displacement ($\mathrm{\Delta x}<0$) over a certain time interval, which of the following statements must be true about its motion during that interval?
