📊 Part 1: Graph Interpretation

1. What does the gradient of a distance-time graph represent?

Acceleration

Velocity

Displacement

Time

2. What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Acceleration

Velocity

Displacement

Distance

3. On a distance-time graph, what type of motion does a horizontal line represent?

Constant velocity

Stationary (at rest)

Constant acceleration

Deceleration

4. What does the gradient of a velocity-time graph represent?

Distance

Velocity

Acceleration

Displacement

📈 Part 2: Graph Analysis and Calculations

5. A car travels with constant velocity of 15 m/s for 8 seconds. Calculate the displacement using the velocity-time graph method.

Displacement = _________ metres

6. On a distance-time graph, an object moves from 0m to 60m in 12 seconds at constant speed. Calculate the velocity.

Velocity = _________ m/s

7. A cyclist accelerates uniformly from rest to 8 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate:

a) The acceleration: ___________ m/s²

b) The displacement during this time: ___________ metres

✏️ Part 3: Graph Construction and Description

8. Draw a velocity-time graph for the following motion scenario:

A ball is thrown upward, reaches maximum height, then falls back down. Consider upward as positive velocity.

9. Describe the motion shown by a distance-time graph that has:

a) A steep positive gradient: ________________________________

b) A gentle positive gradient: ________________________________

c) A curved line that gets steeper: ________________________________

10. Explain why velocity can be negative on a velocity-time graph, but distance cannot be negative on a distance-time graph.
