Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.24 Velocity Time Graphs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the velocity-time graph shown for a ball thrown straight upward. Which statement is correct at the top of the ball's path?

AAt t = 2 s the velocity and acceleration are both zero.

BAt t = 4 s the ball is at the top because speed is greatest.

CThe ball never changes direction because the graph is a straight line.

DAt t = 2 s the velocity is zero, but acceleration is still constant and negative.

Solution & Explanation:The top of the path occurs when vertical velocity is zero, which is at t = 2 s. The straight line has a constant negative slope, so acceleration remains constant and negative.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

For any straight-line segment on a velocity-time graph, how can the average velocity over that interval be found?

ATake the slope of the segment.

BMultiply the endpoint velocities together.

CTake the mean of the endpoint velocities.

DUse only the final velocity.

Solution & Explanation:For a linear velocity-time segment, the area is a trapezoid, so the average velocity equals the mean of the two endpoint velocities. The slope gives acceleration, not average velocity.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the velocity-time graph shown for a cart starting at x = 0. Which statement is correct at t = 8 s?

AThe cart is at x = 8 m and has not reversed direction.

BThe cart is back at x = 0 m and has reversed direction once.

CThe cart is at x = -8 m and has reversed direction twice.

DThe cart is at x = 0 m and has never moved.

Solution & Explanation:Area from 0-2 s is +8 m. The sloped 2-6 s segment has zero net area because endpoint velocities are +4 and -4. Area from 6-8 s is -8 m. Net displacement is 0, and the graph crosses v = 0 once at t = 4 s.
