Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Describe what a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph indicates about the motion of an object.
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the velocity of the object during the time interval from 4 seconds to 8 seconds, given the graph shows a line at 12 m/s in this period.
[3 marks]
3.
Plot the graph of y=3x for x values from 0 to 5 on the provided grid.
[2 marks]
4.
A car accelerates from 0 to 20 m/s in 10 seconds. Sketch the velocity-time graph for this motion.
[4 marks]
5.
A cyclist's velocity increases linearly from 0 m/s to 15 m/s over 5 seconds. What is the average velocity during this period?
[2 marks]
6.
Using a velocity-time graph, explain how you can determine the total distance traveled by the object over a given period.
[3 marks]
7.
Identify the mistake in this interpretation: 'Since the graph shows a constant velocity of 10 m/s, the object travels 10 meters every second.'
[3 marks]
8.
Determine the acceleration of an object if its velocity increases from 5 m/s to 15 m/s over 4 seconds.
[3 marks]
9.
A velocity-time graph shows a straight line sloping upward from 0 to 30 m/s over 6 seconds. What is the acceleration?
[2 marks]
10.
Construct a velocity-time graph to show an object moving at a constant speed for 10 seconds, then stopping suddenly at 12 seconds. Describe your sketch.
[4 marks]
11.
A student mistakenly interprets a decreasing velocity graph as an object slowing down, but the graph shows a negative slope. What correction should you make?
[3 marks]
12.
Explain how the area under a velocity-time graph relates to the displacement of the object. Provide an example with a rectangular area.
[3 marks]
