Motion Graphs Position-Time (also called Distance-Time or Displacement-Time) d t At rest

rise d slope = run ∆y ∆x t Constant positive velocity

rise d slope = run ∆d ∆d = ∆t ∆t t = velocity Constant positive velocity *Slope of a displacement-time graph indicates velocity

Positive acceleration Negative acceleration d d t t

Velocity-Time v t Constant positive velocity

rise v slope = run ∆v ∆v = ∆t ∆t t = acceleration Positive acceleration *Slope of a velocity-time graph indicates acceleration
