Motion graph worksheet (I) Answer key

i-acceleration OR increasing speed

ii-constant acceleration OR constant rate of increase in speed
i-horizontal line at 10 m / s
ii-straight line from origin to (5.0, 25)
i-50 m
ii-area of triangle or ½ x 25 x 5.0
62.5 or 63m
iii-when areas under graph are equal
4.0 s
a-point marked P (on line or time axis) at t ≥ 2.0 s
b(i)- 120m/s^2
1(a)- speed is constant / uniform / unchanging OR terminal velocity / speed
no net / resultant force OR air resistance cancels / equals weight

1(b)- P between 0.25 s and 1.90 s (inclusive)

1(ci)-9.6 to 10m/s^2 (inclusive)

1(cii)-area under graph OR attempt at counting squares OR between 16.2 and

17.5 m

(inclusive)

between 16.5 and 17.1 m (inclusive)

1(ai)-decreases / average speed 2 m / s

1(aii)-constant / speed 0.8 m / s

1(bi)-negative

1(bii)-zero

1(c)-uses v = d / t in any form or d / t

(average velocity = 50 / 40 =) 1.3 m / s or 1.25 m / s
