Question 2

What do these represent on a velocity time graph?
Flat

Steeper

Uphill

Downhill

Area

Curve

Answer 2

Flat - Steady speed

Steeper - The greater the acceleration or deceleration

Uphill - Acceleration

Downhill - Deceleration

Area - It is equal to the distance travelled in that time interval

Curve - Changing acceleration
