Question

1. What does the vertical axis represent on a position-time graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Option B
2. Option C
3. Option D
4. Option C
5. Option C

Explanation:

Given the following questions:

Question one:
Your answer is option B, a position time graph is one of the most common graphs to use to describe the motion of objects. The vertical line of the position time graph is the line that would be the y axis in some math cases. This line represents the "position of the object" or option B.

Question Two:
Your answer is option C or a "distance-time graph." The vertical axis shows the distance travels, while the horizontal line shows the time the object spends in the air. Distance-time graphs are used to show the distance an object traveled, in a certain amount of time.

Question three:
Your answer is option D or "shortest distance between two positions." Displacements definition is purely moving something from its initial position. Displacement is also seen as length and distance, which is why the shortest distance between two positions would be considered as true when it comes to displacement.

Question four:
Horizontal line would be the x-axis on a normal coordinate plane, since this is a distance-time graph and the horizonal line represents time. The answer will be option C or "object is accelerating." Since a distance-time graph shows how far an object goes in a certain amount of time, the horizontal line shows how fast the object is moving while traveling that distance within that certain amount of time.

Question five:
Your answer is option C or "X-axis: Time; Y-axis: Displacement." Since we are talking about a displacement-time graph, Y-axis is the dependent variable, it is what's being measured, so that would be displacement. While x-axis is the independent variable, which is what is being tested, so the x-axis will be time.

Hope this helps.

B. II and III only
C. I and IV only
D. II, III, and IV only
14. Examine the graph below. Is it correct to say that the straight horizontal line on the
speed-time graph means that the object is not moving?
A. Yes, a horizontal line means that the object is at rest or stationary.
B. Yes, a straight line always means that an object is not moving at all.
C. No, a horizontal line indicates that the object has uniform acceleration.
D. No, a horizontal line indicates that the speed is not changing over time.
15. During their science class, Jessa was assigned to discuss about distance-time
graphs. In one of her graphs, Jessa shows a graph with a diagonal line that slopes
upward to the right. She explained that the graph means that an object is moving
at a constant speed. Do you think her explanation is correct?
A. No, the distance-time graph should show a horizontal straight line going to
the right.
B. No, a diagonal line that slopes upward to the right in a distance-time graph
means that the speed is increasing.
C. Yes, the motion of objects plotted in a distance-time graph has similar
interpretation if plotted in a speed-time graph.
D. Yes, a diagonal line that slopes upward to the right means that distance is
increasing constantly with time, thus an object is moving in a steady speed.
