The graph below shows the velocity with respect to time of an object. Which statement correctly describes the object's speed, as well as what a graph of acceleration vs. time would look like? Velocity vs. Time 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 Velocity (m/s) Time (s) Select one: a. The object is not speeding up, and the acceleration vs. time graph is a horizontal line at some negative value. b. The object is not speeding up, and the acceleration vs. time graph is a horizontal line at some positive value. c. The object is speeding up, and the acceleration vs. time graph is a horizontal line at some positive value. d. The object is speeding up, and the acceleration vs. time graph is a horizontal line at some negative value.

3. The graph represents the velocity of an object traveling in a straight line as a function of time. Determine the magnitude of the total displacement of the object at the end of the first 6.0 seconds. 4. An object moves at a slow, constant speed, then sits at rest for a moment, then moves at a new faster, constant speed. Sketch a velocity-time graph of this motion on the given axes.

Study the velocity-time graph pictured below. Match each segment of the graph with the description of its motion at that time. Velocity vs. Time a. segment A b. segment B c. segment C d. segment D e. segment E 9. The object is motionless during this segment. 10. The object is moving with constant velocity during this segment. 11. The object travels the greatest distance during this segment. 12. The object is experiencing non-uniform acceleration during this segment. 13. The object is travelling north but accelerating south during this segment. Match the item with the correct statement below. a. change in velocity b. average velocity c. acceleration d. displacement 14. Found by taking the slope of a position-time graph. 15. Found by taking the slope of a velocity-time graph. 16. Found by taking the area under a velocity-time graph. 17. Found by taking the area under an acceleration-time graph.
