Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions
What does a flat line on a velocity-time graph indicate?
💡 Hint: Think about what it means if speed doesn't change.
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?

Interactive Quizzes
Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning
What does a flat segment on a velocity-time graph indicate?
💡 Hint: Remember what it means when speed doesn't change over time.
True or False: The area under a velocity-time graph represents the speed of the object.
💡 Hint: Think about what distance traveled means.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
