A. An object which is slowing down must have negative velocity.

B. If a value has zero velocity, it must be stationary.

C. The graph of position against time for a vehicle with constant acceleration has to be a straight line.

D. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

E. Velocity is the rate of change speed

F. A reversing vehicle must have negative velocity.

G. If two vehicles have the same velocity-time graphs, then they must have the same position-time graphs.

  2. D

    There is no other correct answer besides D unless you define the velocity in relative term! For example a reversing vehicle has a negative velocity only relative to a fixed reference which you have not stated. Also, If a value has a zero velocity, it must be stationary relative to what? How about changing direction without moving; you can't define an object stationary if it changes direction without having a traslational motion!

  3. B and D

    A) negative acceleration

    B)

    C) parabola

    D) a=dV/dt

    dV=change of velocity

    dt= time taken

    so

    dV/dt=rate of change of velocity

    E) displacement

    F) If the initial velocity is negative the reverse will be positive

    G) if they have been initially at the same spot.
