E. Graphing Motion slope = speed steeper slope = straight line = * 07/16/96 E. Graphing Motion Distance-Time Graph A B slope = steeper slope = straight line = flat line = speed faster speed constant speed no motion *
E. Graphing Motion Who started out faster? A (steeper slope) Distance-Time Graph A B Who started out faster? A (steeper slope) Who had a constant speed? A Describe B from 10-20 min. B stopped moving Find their average speeds. A = (2400m) ÷ (30min) A = 80 m/min B = (1200m) ÷ (30min) B = 40 m/min
E. Graphing Motion Distance-Time Graph Acceleration is indicated by a curve on a Distance-Time graph. Changing slope = changing velocity
E. Graphing Motion acceleration slope = +ve = speeds up Speed-Time Graph acceleration +ve = speeds up -ve = slows down slope = straight line = flat line = constant accel. no accel. (constant velocity)
E. Graphing Motion Specify the time period when the object was... Speed-Time Graph Specify the time period when the object was... slowing down 5 to 10 seconds speeding up 0 to 3 seconds moving at a constant speed 3 to 5 seconds not moving 0 & 10 seconds
