Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.25 Acceleration Time Graphs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Why can an acceleration-time graph with a higher peak acceleration produce a smaller velocity change than a graph with a lower peak acceleration?

AVelocity change depends only on the final acceleration value.

BHigher acceleration always produces larger velocity change.

CA lower peak acceleration always means negative velocity change.

DVelocity change depends on total signed area, not peak height alone.

Solution & Explanation:The area under the acceleration-time graph depends on both acceleration magnitude and duration. A tall narrow peak can have less area than a lower, wider graph.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the acceleration-time graph. The graph crosses a = 0 at t = 5 s. What feature would the velocity-time graph have at that same time?

Aa vertical jump because acceleration changes sign

Ba corner where velocity must be zero

Ca horizontal tangent because acceleration, the slope of velocity, is zero

Da maximum position because acceleration is zero

Solution & Explanation:Acceleration is the slope of the velocity-time graph. When acceleration equals zero, the velocity-time graph has slope zero, so it has a horizontal tangent at that instant.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A rolling cart starts from rest. The acceleration-time area from 0 s to 2 s is +2 m/s, and the area from 2 s to 5 s is -6 m/s. What is the cart's velocity at 5 s?

A+8 m/s

B-4 m/s

C+4 m/s

D0 m/s

Solution & Explanation:Starting from rest means v(0) = 0. The net change in velocity is +2 - 6 = -4 m/s, so v(5) = -4 m/s.
