Lesson Worksheet: Interpreting Graphs of Motion Science
In this worksheet, we will practice comparing a distance–time graph to a description of the motion of an object.
Q1:
Which of the following distance–time graphs shows an object that does not move?
- A
- B
- C
Q2:
Which of the following distance–time graphs shows an object initially moving with constant speed that stops moving and then starts moving again with a lesser constant speed?
- A
- B
Q3:
Which of the following distance–time graphs shows an object initially moving with constant speed that stops moving and then starts moving again with a greater constant speed?
- A
- B
Q4:
Which of the following distance–time graphs shows an object that initially accelerates and then decelerates?
- A
- B
- C
Q5:
Which of the following distance–time graphs shows an object that has uniform deceleration?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Q6:
Which of the following correctly states how the graph shows the speed of an object increasing?
- AAll the parts of the line show speed increasing.
- BOnly the pink part of the line shows speed increasing.
- COnly the blue part of the line shows speed increasing.
Q7:
Which of the following distance–time graphs shows an object that has increasing speed and uniform acceleration?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Q8:
Consider the following graph. The motion of object A is represented by the solid line. The motion of object B is represented by the dashed line. Which of the following statements correctly compares the distances traveled by the objects?
- AObject A travels the greater distance.
- BObject B travels the greater distance.
- CThe distances traveled are equal.
Q9:
Which of the lines shown on the following distance–time graph represents the object with the greatest acceleration?
- ALine B
- BLine C
- CLine A
- DThe objects have equal acceleration.
Q10:
Which of the following most correctly describes the motion represented by the following distance–time graph? The time intervals shown are equal.
- AThe solid and dashed lines represent the same uniformly accelerated motion.
- BThe solid line represents uniform motion, and the dashed line represents accelerated motion.
- CThe solid line represents accelerated motion, and the dashed line represents uniform motion.
- DThe solid line represents accelerated motion, and the dashed line also represents accelerated motion but with a different value of acceleration.
