Directions:
On this worksheet you will practice working with velocity-time graphs for "constant velocity."

Question 1
The y-axis, representing velocity, is scaled so that each square (vertical division) represents
5 m/sec.
The x-axis is scaled so that each square represents
1 second
.

5.00 m/sec
1.67 m/sec
10.00 m/sec
the correct value is not listed
omit
Question 2
During which interval of time was the object losing speed in a positive direction?
0 < t < 5 seconds
20 < t < 23 seconds
7 < t < 12 seconds
14 < t < 18 seconds
omit
Question 3
During which of these intervals of time was the object at rest?
12 < t < 15 seconds
5 < t < 7 seconds
the correct interval is not listed

Question 4
During which interval of time was the object gaining speed in a negative direction?
20 < t < 23 seconds
14 < t < 18 seconds
7 < t < 12 seconds
0 < t < 5 seconds
omit
