Motion graphs quiz

This worksheet helps 9th-grade students practice analyzing motion graphs by answering questions about interpreting position and velocity data, understanding slopes, and identifying motion characteristics through various graph shapes. It encourages critical thinking about the relationship between graphs and object movement.

Questions

  1. A position vs. time graph shows a straight line sloping upward. What does this indicate about the object's motion?
  2. Which of the following are true about a horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph?
  3. A curved line on a position vs. time graph always means the object is accelerating.
  4. What quantity does the slope of a position vs. time graph represent?
  5. If an object moves from 2 m to 10 m in 4 seconds, what is its average velocity? (Include the sign if negative.)
  6. On a velocity vs. time graph, what does the area under the curve represent?
  7. Which statements are true about an object with a negative slope on a position vs. time graph?
  8. If an object's velocity is positive and its velocity vs. time graph is a straight line sloping downward while staying above zero, the object is slowing down.
  9. What is the shape of the position vs. time graph for an object moving at constant velocity?
  10. An object starts at 0 m, moves at 3 m/s for 5 seconds. What is its final position?
