Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.4 Measuring Speed and Graphing Motion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which graph best matches this full story: a rover moved gently from 0 to 6 meters in 3 minutes, stopped from minute 3 to minute 4, and then moved more quickly to 18 meters by minute 6?
Aa graph with a gentle rise to 6 meters by minute 3, a flat section to minute 4, and a steeper rise to 18 meters by minute 6
Ba graph with a steep rise to 18 meters by minute 3 and then a flat line to minute 6
Ca graph that stays flat until minute 3 and then rises gently to 18 meters by minute 6
Da graph with a gentle rise to 6 meters by minute 6 and no flat section
Solution & Explanation:The story says gentle movement, then a stop, then faster movement. Choice A shows rise, flat, then a steeper rise with the correct distances and times.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Two students measured the same scooter. Ava says, 'It moved 18 meters in 6 seconds, so its average speed is 3 meters per second.' Ben says, 'Its graph should be steeper than a scooter that moves 10 meters in 5 seconds.' Who is correct?
AAva only
BBen only
CBoth Ava and Ben
DNeither Ava nor Ben
Solution & Explanation:Ava is correct because 18 divided by 6 = 3 m/s. Ben is also correct because 10 divided by 5 = 2 m/s, and 3 m/s would be shown by a steeper line on the same axes.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A graph description says the object went from 0 meters at 0 seconds to 12 meters at 3 seconds, then from 12 meters at 3 seconds to 20 meters at 7 seconds. Which segment was faster?
AThe first segment was faster.
BThe second segment was faster.
CThey were the same speed.
DThere is not enough information.
Solution & Explanation:The first segment covers 12 meters in 3 seconds, which is 4 m/s. The second covers 8 meters in 4 seconds, which is 2 m/s. The first segment is faster.
