Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Read graph axes and distinguish position, velocity and acceleration.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Model the target skill: interpret physical significance of slope and area under curve on position-time and velocity-time graphs. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Read graph axes and distinguish position, velocity and acceleration.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: A graph's height and its slope describe different quantities; the axes determine which relationship applies.

A common mistake to discuss

A graph's height and its slope describe different quantities; the axes determine which relationship applies.

What to practice next

Explain one segment's slope and check the units of the quantity it represents.

Sample question and answer

A high-speed train accelerates uniformly from rest (v₀ = 0 m/s) at a rate of 2.5 m/s² for 10 seconds. What is the train's final velocity vf and total displacement Δx over this interval?

  • A. vf = 25 m/s; Δx = 125 meters
  • B. vf = 25 m/s; Δx = 250 meters
  • C. vf = 50 m/s; Δx = 125 meters
  • D. vf = 12.5 m/s; Δx = 62.5 meters

Answer: A. Final velocity vf = v₀ + at = 0 + (2.5)(10) = 25 m/s. Displacement Δx = v₀t + 0.5at² = 0 + 0.5(2.5)(10²) = 0.5(2.5)(100) = 125 meters.
