Graphs of Motion The data shows the runner took 10 seconds to run each 50-meter segment. Because the time was the same for each segment, you know the speed was the same for each segment.
Graphs of Motion You can use position vs. time graphs to compare the motion of different objects. The steeper line on a position vs. time graph means a faster speed.
Slope The steepness of a line is measured by finding its slope.
