Position, Velocity, Acceleration Graphs

Card 1
Q: On a position vs. time graph, what does the slope represent?
A: Velocity

Card 2
Q: On a velocity vs. time graph, what does the slope represent?
A: Acceleration

Card 3
Q: On an acceleration vs. time graph, what does a flat line above the axis represent?
A: Constant positive acceleration

Card 4
Q: On a position vs. time graph, what does a straight diagonal line mean?
A: Constant velocity

Card 5
Q: On a position vs. time graph, what does a curved line mean?
A: Acceleration (velocity is changing)

Card 6
Q: On a velocity vs. time graph, what does a flat line above the axis mean?
A: Constant forward velocity

Card 7
Q: On a velocity vs. time graph, what does a flat line below the axis mean?
A: Constant backward velocity

Card 8
Q: On a velocity vs. time graph, what does a line sloping upward mean?
A: Accelerating forward

Card 9
Q: On a velocity vs. time graph, what does a line sloping downward mean?
A: Decelerating (slowing down)

Card 10
Q: On an acceleration vs. time graph, what does a line at zero mean?
A: No acceleration (constant velocity)

Card 11
Q: On an acceleration vs. time graph, what does a flat line below the axis mean?
A: Constant negative acceleration

Card 12
Q: On a position vs. time graph, what does a negative slope mean?
A: Moving backward
