Example Questions
Example Question #11 : Motion In One Dimension
According to the graph above, during which interval does Boomer have the largest speed?
None, there is a tie
None, there is a tie
Speed is proportional to the absolute value of the slope. Boomer's speed has its largest value 
Example Question #11 : Motion In One Dimension
According to the graph shown above, during which interval is Boomer at rest?
5 - 7.5 s
None of these
Boomer is at rest during periods when the slope of the position versus time graph is zero.
Example Question #12 : Motion In One Dimension
Boomer 's position is shown in the table below.
According to the graph above, during which time interval is Boomer at rest?
None of these
Boomer's position does not change during the interval when he is at rest. This is the final interval.
Example Question #13 : Motion In One Dimension
According to the table above, during which interval does Boomer reach his highest speed?
None: there is a tie
None: there is a tie
Boomer's speed is the ratio of the distance traveled to the time. It is 
Example Question #291 : Ap Physics 1
According to the graph above, Boomer has the slowest speed during which interval?
None of these
The smallest speed is zero which occurs during the final intervals, which have a slope of zero.
Example Question #292 : Ap Physics 1
According to the graph above, when does Boomer have the smallest average speed?
None: there is a tie
The smallest speed is zero, which occurs during the final intervals which shows no change in position.
Example Question #293 : Ap Physics 1
According to the graph above, Boomer has the largest positive velocity during which interval?
None of these
The largest and only positive velocity occurs during the first interval when the slope is positive.
Example Question #294 : Ap Physics 1
According to the table above, when does Boomer have the largest positive velocity?
None of these
The largest positive velocity occurs during the period with the maximum positive change in position. This is the first period.
Example Question #295 : Ap Physics 1
According to the graph above, Boomer has the largest negative velocity during which interval?
None of these
Negative velocities correspond to periods when the position decreases in value. The largest negative velocity occurs during the third period.
Example Question #296 : Ap Physics 1
According to the table above, when does Boomer have his largest negative velocity?
None of these
The position decline the largest amount per unit time during the third interval.
