37 For this graph: DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) TIME (s) Slope 2 4 6 8
1 2 3 4

38 Created by Richard J. Terwilliger August 1998
Slope and since TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 DISTANCE (m) 6 8 DISTANCE vs. TIME then, the slope of a Distance-Time graph represents the SPEED of the object. Slope = SPEED Created by Richard J. Terwilliger August 1998

39 We can also use the UNITS to determine what the slope represents.
DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) 2 4 6 8 TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

40 DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) TIME (s) Slope Slope = SPEED 2 4 6 8 1
3 4

41 The SLOPE of a straight line is constant, therefore since the
slope of a distance-time graph represents speed, the SPEED shown here is constant. DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) 2 4 6 8 SLOPE is CONSTANT TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

42 The SLOPE of a straight line is constant, therefore since the
slope of a distance-time graph represents speed, the SPEED shown here is constant. DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) 2 4 6 8 SPEED is CONSTANT TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

43 Here the SLOPE is increasing, so the SPEED is increasing.
DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) 2 4 6 8 TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

44 Here the SLOPE is decreasing, so the SPEED is also decreasing.
DISTANCE vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) 2 4 6 8 TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

45 This graph looks identical to the first distance-time graph
Slope This graph looks identical to the first distance-time graph we displayed but now VELOCITY is plotted on the vertical axis 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

46 This is a VELOCITY vs. TIME VELOCITY vs. TIME graph VELOCITY (m/s)
Slope This is a VELOCITY vs. TIME graph VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

47 Slope Here: VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

48 Slope Or: VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

49 Slope VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

50 SLOPE of a VELOCITY-TIME
Therefore, the SLOPE of a VELOCITY-TIME graph represents ACCELERATION VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 SLOPE = ACCELERATION VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

51 Let’s look at the DISTANCE-TIME graph and VELOCITY-TIME graph
Slope Let’s look at the DISTANCE-TIME graph and VELOCITY-TIME graph side-by-side.

52 DISTANCE vs. TIME VELOCITY vs. TIME DISTANCE (m) VELOCITY (m/s)
Slope TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 DISTANCE (m) DISTANCE vs. TIME Slope = SPEED 6 8 TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME Slope = ACCELERATION 6 8

53 The third method for obtaining information from a graph is
AREA The third method for obtaining information from a graph is by determining the VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

54 under the plotted line. VELOCITY vs. TIME VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) AREA
2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

55 Let’s use UNITS to determine
AREA Let’s use UNITS to determine what the represents. AREA VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

56 VELOCITY vs. TIME The 2 is just a number and doesn’t have any
AREA AREA VELOCITY vs. TIME The 2 is just a number and doesn’t have any associated units. 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

57 Therefore: VELOCITY vs. TIME = (s) (m) = (m) (s) VELOCITY (m/s)
AREA Therefore: AREA VELOCITY vs. TIME = (s) (m) (s) = (m) 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

58 then the area of a Velocity-Time graph represents either distance
If the units for then the area of a Velocity-Time graph represents either distance or displacement. AREA are (meters) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) AREA DISPLACEMENT is TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

59 What distance did the object travel during the first three seconds?
AREA What distance did the object travel during the first three seconds? VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 VELOCITY (m/s) AREA DISPLACEMENT is TIME (s) 1 2 3 4

60 To answer this we need to find the area from VELOCITY vs. TIME
zero to three seconds. TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 6 8

AREA So, from zero to three seconds, the object travels nine meters. TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 AREA

63 Let’s try another question.
AREA Let’s try another question. TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME How far did the object travel during the third second? 2 4 6 8

64 from two to three seconds.
AREA Here we need to find the AREA from two to three seconds. TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8

65 We can solve for the area using the equation for a trapezoid
or by breaking the area down into a triangle and a rectangle. TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8

66 Lets break the area down into a triangle and a rectangle.
TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8

67 VELOCITY vs. TIME (1s)(2m) (1s)(4m) s s VELOCITY (m/s) 2 1m 1m 4m 4m

68 According to our calculations of AREA, the object traveled
5 meters during the third second of travel. TIME (s) 1 2 3 4 VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 1m 4m

69 Before trying several problems, let’s review what we’ve covered
up to this point.

70 What are the three different methods of obtaining
information from a graph? Direct Reading Information read directly off the horizontal and vertical axis. Slope The vertical axis units divided by the horizontal axis units. AREA The vertical axis units times the horizontal axis units.

71 The following questions will refer to this velocity-time graph which represents the velocity of a car over a period of twenty seconds. TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

72 For every question, you should determine if the

77 The velocity is constant 4 to 10 seconds
When is the car traveling with a constant speed? The velocity is constant 4 to 10 seconds and 14 to 16 seconds. TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

79 First look at the velocity at 0 seconds.

85 When is the car slowing down?
The first section starts at 10 seconds. The car slows down from 10 m/s to 0 m/s to 12.3 s and … TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

86 When is the car slowing down?
The second section starts at 16 seconds. The car slows down from 5 m/s to 0 m/s to 12.3 s and 16 to 20 s TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

87 When is the car slowing down?
Remember, velocity is a vector. It is a combination of SPEED and direction. The - sign just shows the direction the car is traveling. TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

88 When is the car accelerating?

To determine the slope at a point, it is necessary to use two points and determine the slope of the line that goes through the point in question. TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

95 What is the acceleration of the car between 10 and 14 seconds?
SLOPE = What is the acceleration of the car between 10 and 14 seconds? ACCELERATION = The acceleration for the entire time period of 10 to 14 seconds is m/s2. ACCELERATION = TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

96 What is the acceleration of the car at 12.7 seconds?
We know the acceleration between 10 s and 14 s. is m/s2 so even though the car is stopped at a time of 12.7 s, it is still accelerating at a m/s2. ACCELERATION = TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME -5 -10 4 8 12 16 20 +10 +5

REVIEW We are not limited to these two graphs so: TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s) VELOCITY vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 1 3 Slope = ACCELERATION DISTANCE vs. TIME 2 4 6 8 1 3 DISPLACEMENT DISTANCE (m) Slope = SPEED TIME (s)

122 information from a graph?
Whenever you are given a graph remember the three different methods of obtaining information from a graph? Direct Reading Information read directly off the horizontal and vertical axis. Slope The vertical axis units divided by the horizontal axis units. AREA The vertical axis units times the horizontal axis units.
