Velocity-Time Graph Analysis

The document describes 9 graphs of velocity vs. time and asks the reader to match descriptions of motion to the appropriate graphs. The graphs show variations in velocity including constant velocity in both directions, increasing/decreasing velocity, changing direction, and being momentarily or continuously at rest. The reader is asked to explain their choices.

  • Velocity-Time Graph Analysis: Analyzes different types of velocity-time graphs, providing descriptions for graph movements and explanations for motion interpretation.

VELOCITY-TIME GRAPHS

The graphs below show the velocity of a hypothetical object moving along a straight line. Choose the lettered
graph that best represents each of the numbered descriptions. A graph may be used for more than one
description or it may not be used at all. Some descriptions may correspond to more than one graph and some
may not correspond to any graph at all. Be prepared to explain your choices.
1. The object is moving away from the position s = 0 at a constant velocity
2. The object is moving toward the position s = 0 at a constant velocity
3. The object's velocity is increasing at a uniform rate
4. The object's velocity is decreasing at a uniform rate
5. The object changes direction
6. The object is standing still for an extended period of time
7. The object is momentarily (and only momentarily) at rest on one occasion
8. The object is momentarily (and only momentarily) at rest on two separate occasions
