Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.23 Position Time Graphs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the position-time graph shown. Which statement connects position and velocity correctly?

AThe velocity is positive because all position values are positive.

BThe velocity is zero because the graph does not reach the origin.

CThe velocity cannot be determined unless the graph starts at zero.

DThe velocity is negative even though the position remains positive.

Solution & Explanation:The line slopes downward, so velocity is negative. Position can remain positive while the object moves in the negative direction.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the position-time graph shown. What is the average velocity from t = 1 s to t = 5 s?

APositive because the graph ends while rising.

BNegative because the graph initially falls.

CIt cannot be found from a position-time graph.

D0 m/s

Solution & Explanation:The positions at t = 1 s and t = 5 s are both 4 m. Equal initial and final positions give zero displacement, so average velocity is zero.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the position-time graph shown. How many times does the object change direction?

AOne time

BThree times

CTwo times

DZero times

Solution & Explanation:A direction change occurs at smooth local maxima or minima, where the slope changes sign. The graph has one maximum and one minimum, so there are two direction changes.
