Motion Graphs – Practice

Questions:

1) Using the position-time graph below, complete the following questions:

a) how far has the object travelled after 20 and 40 seconds?

b) when is the object at rest?

c) what is the velocity of the object between 30-50 seconds?

d) what is the total displacement and distance of the object after 100 seconds?


2) Using the velocity-time graph below, complete the following questions:

a) what is the velocity of the object after 20 and 60 seconds?

b) when is the object moving at a constant velocity?

c) what is the acceleration of the object between 50-60 seconds?

d) what is the total displacement of the object after 50 seconds?

 

 3) Draw a velocity-time graph for the following acceleration-time graph:


 

Quick Answers:
