    The graph below represents the relationship between distance and time for an object in motion. During which interval is the speed of the object changing? - ProProfs

    The graph below represents the relationship between distance and time for an object in motion. During which interval is the speed of the object changing?

    • CD

    • AB

    • BC

    • DE

    Correct Answer
    A. DE
    Explanation
    The speed of the object is changing during the interval DE. This can be inferred from the graph as the slope of the line DE is steeper compared to the other intervals. A steeper slope indicates a greater change in distance over time, which implies a change in speed.

    Which graph best represents the motion of an object whose speed is increasing? - ProProfs

    Which graph best represents the motion of an object whose speed is increasing?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    Graph 1 represents the motion of an object whose speed is increasing because the line on the graph is sloping upwards, indicating that the speed is increasing over time. Graphs 2, 3, and 4 either show a constant speed or a decreasing speed, so they do not represent an object with increasing speed.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the meaning of the slope on a distance versus time graph?

    • Acceleration

    • Displacement

    • Velocity

    • Momentum

    Correct Answer
    A. Velocity
    Explanation
    The slope on a distance versus time graph represents the speed or velocity of an object. In physics, speed is defined as the rate at which an object changes its position with respect to time. Mathematically, the slope of a distance-time graph is calculated as the ratio of the change in distance to the change in time.

    The displacement-time graph below represents the motion of a cart initially moving forward along a straight line. During which interval is the cart moving forward at constant speed? - ProProfs

    The displacement-time graph below represents the motion of a cart initially moving forward along a straight line. During which interval is the cart moving forward at constant speed?

    • AB

    • CD

    • BC

    • DE

    Correct Answer
    A. BC
    Explanation
    The cart is moving forward at constant speed during the interval BC. This is because the displacement-time graph shows a straight line segment, indicating that the cart is covering equal distances in equal time intervals. Since the slope of the line is constant, the speed of the cart remains constant during this interval.

    The graph below represents the motion of an object. According to the graph, as time increases, the velocity of the object: - ProProfs

    The graph below represents the motion of an object. According to the graph, as time increases, the velocity of the object:

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Remains the same

    Correct Answer
    A. Remains the same
    Explanation
    According to the given graph, the velocity of the object remains the same as time increases. This can be observed by the horizontal line on the graph, indicating a constant velocity. Therefore, regardless of the passage of time, the object maintains a consistent velocity throughout its motion.

    The graph below shows the velocity of a race car moving along a straight line as a function of time. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the car from t = 2.0 seconds to t = 4.0 seconds? - ProProfs

    The graph below shows the velocity of a race car moving along a straight line as a function of time. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the car from t = 2.0 seconds to t = 4.0 seconds?

    • 80. m

    • 20. m

    • 60. m

    • 40. m

    Correct Answer
    A. 60. m
  • 8. 
    Which graph best represents the motion of an object initially at rest and accelerating uniformly? - ProProfs

    Which graph best represents the motion of an object initially at rest and accelerating uniformly?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    Graph 2 represents the motion of an object initially at rest and accelerating uniformly because it shows a steady increase in velocity over time. The slope of the graph is constant, indicating a constant acceleration. The object starts at rest and then accelerates uniformly in a straight line. The other graphs either show no acceleration, deceleration, or non-uniform acceleration.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following can be determined from a velocity-time graph?

    • The displacement of an object

    • The acceleration of an object 

    • The initial velocity of an object 

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    A velocity-time graph provides information about an object's motion. The slope of the graph represents the acceleration, the area under the curve represents the displacement, and the y-intercept represents the initial velocity. Therefore, all of the above can be determined from a velocity-time graph.

    The graph below shows the relationship between speed and time for two objects, A and B. Compared with the acceleration of object B, the acceleration of object A is - ProProfs

    The graph below shows the relationship between speed and time for two objects, A and B. Compared with the acceleration of object B, the acceleration of object A is

    • Three times as great

    • The same

    • One-third as great

    • Twice as great

    Correct Answer
    A. Three times as great
    Explanation
    The graph shows that the speed of object A increases at a faster rate compared to object B. This indicates that object A has a higher acceleration than object B. Since the question asks for a comparison, we can conclude that the acceleration of object A is three times as great as the acceleration of object B.
