Graphical Analysis – Uniform Motion Homework: Graphical analysis worksheets
Velocity Velocity is the rate of change of positions. It is measured in m/s [N,E,S,W].
Velocity Velocity is the rate of change of position. It is measured in m/s [N,E,S,W].
Acceleration Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. It is measured in m/s2 [N,E,S,W].
Acceleration Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. It is measured in m/s2 [N,E,S,W].

Uniform Motion: Interpreting d-t Graphs The slope of a line segment on a d-t graph tells you the average velocity.
Uniform Motion: Interpreting d-t Graphs The slope of a line segment on a d-t graph tells you the average velocity.
Uniform Motion: Interpreting v-t Graphs The slope of a line segment on a v-t graph tells you the average acceleration.
