Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What does a flat line on a velocity-time graph indicate?

💡 Hint: Think about what it means if speed doesn't change.

Question 2 Easy

If the slope of a line on a v-t graph is negative, what is happening to the object's velocity?

💡 Hint: If it's going down, is it speeding up or slowing down?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A velocity-time graph shows an object accelerating from 0 to 12 m/s in 6 seconds, followed by a flat line for 4 seconds at 12 m/s, and then decelerating to 0 m/s in the last 3 seconds. Calculate the total displacement.

💡 Hint: Break the graph into segments and calculate the areas.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a velocity-time graph with a gradual slope rising from 2 m/s to 10 m/s over 4 seconds and then a sudden drop to 0 m/s in 1 second, find displacement for the entire course.

💡 Hint: Remember, split and calculate areas for segments of different motions.
