Quiz – Kinematics Graphs

Albert Fong 11-1 Motion, Kinematics, Quiz ,

Before Class Preparation:

  • Complete all Google Classroom & CK12 assessments on Kinematics Graphs
  • BYOD for Google Forms quiz
  • Pencil & Calculator for paper part of quiz

In Class Work:

40 minute quiz: Kinematics Graphs

  • Part 1: 20 Multiple Choice on Google Form (1 attempt only)
    • Match the graphs with the descriptions
      • at rest?
      • + / – constant velocity?
      • + / – constant acceleration?
      • Speeding up? Slowing down?
    • Choose the best descriptor and match the labeled sections
      • at rest?
      • + / – constant velocity?
      • + / – constant acceleration?
  • Part 2: Draw d-t/v-t/a-t graphs
    • Convert between graphs
    • Sketch d-t & a-t graph from a given v-t graph
    • Identify areas of graphs where object is speeding up or slowing down
  • This slide will be provided during the quiz

Can you:

  • Identify a motion based on a d-t or v-t graph
  • Describe the changing motions of the different segments in a d-t or v-t graph
  • Convert different graphs of motion (given one of d-t or v-t graph, draw the proper corresponding d-t/v-t/a-t graphs with sample calculations)
  • Draw d-t/v-t/a-t graphs of different types of motion with constant acceleration
    • Speeding up/Slowing down/Constant velocity in the positive or negative directions.

After quiz:
