Sci 10 Pre-IB Velocity-Time Graphs

Answer the questions below each graph. For each graph, assume that positive means to the right.

1. What is the velocity at t = 10 seconds?

2. What is the fastest speed that the object travels? When does it travel this speed?
3. When is the object moving to the left?
4. When is the object stationary?
5. When is the object accelerating?
6. If the object’s initial position was what is its position at time t = 3.0 seconds?
7. What distance did the object travel?
8. What is the average velocity over the 25s trip?

1. When is the object at rest?

2. What is the velocity of the object at t = 4 seconds?
3. What is the acceleration of the object at t = 12 seconds?
4. What is the object’s velocity at time t = 10.2 seconds?
5. What is the displacement of the object over the entire trip?
6. If the object started at a position of does it ever reach the position
7. What is the average speed of the object for the entire trip?
8. When is the object traveling to the right?
9. If the object started at a position of what is the farthest distance it reaches from
the reference point?
10. When does the object travel at a constant speed?
1. At what time interval is the object moving the fastest?
2. When is the object at rest?
3. What is the average velocity of the object over the entire trip?
4. What is the speed of the object at t = 2.3 s?
5. When is the object moving to the left?

1. Is the object moving at a constant velocity?

2. Circle the locations on the graph corresponding to the object turning around.
3. When is the object speeding up?
