If the graph of a bike’s velocity versus time has a negative slope, what is the bike doing in terms of acceleration? Is acceleration positive or negative? Is the velocity increasing or decreasing? How do you know? TEKS (4)(A) TEKS (2)(J)

If the plot line of an object’s velocity versus time remains parallel to the x-axis for three seconds, how would you describe the object’s motion during those three seconds? What is the object’s acceleration? What does that tell you about the object’s velocity over those three seconds? What does this tell you about the object’s position over the time period? TEKS (4)(A) TEKS (2)(J)

Suppose you have a car that can accelerate from 0 to 31 meters per second in four seconds. Describe how the slope of a velocity versus time graph of the car’s motion compares to the graph of the cheetah’s velocity versus time data. TEKS (4)(A) TEKS (2)(J) TEKS (2)(L)
