1. Motion Graphs
Learning Target: Be able to relate position, velocity, and acceleration quantitatively and qualitatively

2. Warm up: Come up with a story for this position graph

3. Answer the following questions:
What is the position at t=25s?
2. What is the displacement from point A to point C?
From point C to point E? From A to E?
What is the instantaneous velocity at t=5s? At t=15s?
At t=35s?
4. What is the speed of the object at t=35s?
5. What is the average velocity from point A to B?
From point A to D? From point A to E?
6. What is the acceleration at t=15s? At t=35s?

4. Construct a velocity vs. Time graph for the object.
What would the acceleration vs. time graph look like? What is the area under the velocity graph?

5. How do the position, velocity and acceleration graphs relate to each other?

6. Questions:
1. Calcuate the slope of your distance vs. time graph
Slope ___________________________________________________________
2. What value from your data table does this slope represent?
3. Calculate the slope of your velocity vs. time graph.
4. What value from your data table does this slope represent?
5. Calculate the area under your velocity vs. time graph.
Area ___________________________________________________________
6. What value from your data table does this quantity represents?
