Questions and Answers

The ______ between t = 1s and t = 4s is equal to the area under the velocity-time curve during that interval.

displacement

The ______ velocity between t = 0s and t = 2s can be determined by calculating the slope of the position-time graph, or by using the formula average velocity = total displacement / total time.

average

The instantaneous ______ at t = 5 s can be found by determining the slope of the velocity-time graph at that specific moment.

acceleration

The total ______ traveled between t = 0 s and t = 16s requires considering the areas under the velocity-time curve, taking the absolute value.
