Keystones: 3.2.B

4. Find velocity at 5 s

5. Check velocity at 5 s

6. A1 A2
Determine displacement in first 10 s

7. Check displacement after 10 seconds

8. Determine acceleration

10. Summary The slope of a position vs. time graph yields velocity.
The slope of a velocity vs. time graph yields acceleration.
The area under the curve of a velocity vs. time graph yields displacement.
