Understanding Motion Graphs
To Understand Motion Graphs ASK – What quantity doe the slope represent? Is the slope constant or is it changing? The quantity (#1) is then doing what the slope is doing.
Uniform Motion During each time interval distance (d) change a certain amount Velocity (V) is constant. V – Constant a = 0 d v t t
Accelerated Motion Non-uniform Motion Velocity Changes a = ------- t m/s Units = ---------- = m/s2 s
Evenly Accelerated Motion Changing Slope a = constant Y – changes v d t t
