CP1d Velocity/Time Graphs Flashcards
1
Q
On a velocity/time graph, a horizontal line means…
A
The object is travelling at a constant speed
2
Q
On a velocity/time graph, a sloping line shows that…
A
The object is accelerating
3
Q
On a velocity/time graph, the steeper the line…
A
The greater the acceleration
4
Q
On a velocity/time graph, if the lone slopes down to the right…
A
The object is decelerating
5
Q
On a velocity/time graph, you can find the acceleration of an object from
A
The gradient of the line
6
Q
On a velocity/time graph, a negative velocity (a line behind the horizontal axis) shows…
A
The object moving in the opposite direction
7
Q
On a velocity/time graph, how do you calculate the distance an object has travelled?
A
You find the area; velocity x time
