Velocity Time graphs

Question 1

What does a velocity time graph look like?

Answer 1

Velocity on the left
Time on the bottom

Question 2

What does a straight line mean in a velocity time graph?

Answer 2

Constant acceleration/deceleration

Question 3

What does a steep slope mean in a velocity time graph?

Answer 3

Large acceleration

Question 4

What does a shallow slope mean in a velocity time graph?

Answer 4

Small accceleration

Question 5

What does a positive gradient mean in a velocity time graph?

Answer 5

Increasing velocity

Question 6

What does a negative gradient mean in a velocity time graph?

Answer 6

decreasing velocity

Question 7

What does a flat line mean in a velocity time graph?

Answer 7

Constant velocity

Question 8

How do you find acceleration in a velocity time graph?

Answer 8

Through the gradient

Question 9

What does the area under the graph represent in a velocity time graph?

Answer 9

the distance travelled

Question 10

What is the equation for the final speed?

Answer 10

(final speed)^2 = (initial speed)^2 +(2 x accceleration x distance moved)
