Explain why a car turning a corner at a constant speed of 20 m/s is not traveling at a constant velocity.

Because the direction of the car is changing, velocity is not constant (vector).

15

What does a horizontal line on a distance vs time graph represent?

motionless

10

What does a diagonal, straight line represent on a distance vs time graph?

constant speed

10

What does a curved line represent on a distance vs time graph?

non-constant speed (acceleration)

10

What does a horizontal line above the x axis represent on a speed vs time graph represent?

constant speed

10

What does a horizontal line on the x axis on a speed vs time graph represent?

motionless

10

What does a straight, diagonal line represent on a speed vs time graph?

constant acceleration

10

What does negative slope represent on a speed vs time graph?

slowing down

10

What does negative slope represent on a distance vs time graph?

going back to start

10

How do you calculate distance?

Add up all of the lengths to get a total distance.

10

What does "delta v" represent?

change in velocity (final velocity minus initial velocity)

15

Explain why rate and speed are considered the same thing.

Both divide distance by time.

10

Explain the motion of the object in the graph.

slow constant speed away from start, stopped, slow constant speed away from start, fast constant speed home

25

Calculate the speed of the object during the third section of movement

S=? D=30m T=3s S=D/T S=30m/3s S=10m/s

25

Describe the motion of the object using the graph.

accelerating quickly, constant speed, slow acceleration, slow deceleration

25

Describe the acceleration of the object using each section of the graph

positive, zero, positive, negative
