distance time/velocity graphs

?
Which of the following gives the total distance travelled by an object from its velocity-time graph?
The correct answer is ‘the area between the graph and the time (x) axis’.
1 of 7
An airplane accelerates uniformly from rest along a runway. What will a velocity-time graph of its motion look like?
(uniform acceleration)
Uniform acceleration’ means constant acceleration. What this means is that the gradient of the velocity-time graph will be constant, which means that the graph must be a straight line. In other words, the correct answer is ‘a straight line which starts

What would a velocity-time graph look like that represents the motion of an object at a uniform velocity of 10 m/s.
a horizontal line above the time (x) axis
3 of 7
The gradient of a velocity-time graph at a given point in time is equal to which of the following quantities?
Acceleration
4 of 7
The gradient of a distance-time graph at a given point in time is?
speed
5 of 7
An object accelerates uniformly from rest. What will its distance-time graph look like?
it will be a curve of increasing positive gradient (one which gets steeper as time increases)
6 of 7
An object is accelerating. How can its speed at a given point in time be measured using a distance-time graph of its motion?
draw a tangent to the line at that point and then calculate the gradient of the tangent.
