Mission KG8: Slope and Area of a Velocity-Time Graph

Mission KG8 requires that you use a velocity-time graph to determine the slope and the displacement of an object during a given time period. The mission consists of 30 questions organized into 8 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
 

Learning Outcomes

• The student should be able to determine the acceleration of an object from a velocity-time graph.
• The student should be able to determine the displacement of an object from a velocity-time graph.
