1. Graphing Motion

2. You will need: 3 colored pencils: red, blue, green A ruler if straight lines are important to you

3. There are 3 types of motion graphs in physics Distance/time graphs Distance, position, or displacement is on the y axis and… Time is on the x axis. All our distance time graphs will have a red line on them.

4. There are 3 types of motion graphs in physics Velocity/time graphs Velocity or speed is on the y axis and … Time is on the x axis. All our velocity time graphs will have a blue line on them.

5. There are 3 types of motion graphs in physics Acceleration/time graphs Acceleration is on the y axis and … Time is on the x axis. All our acceleration time graphs will have a green line on them.

6. Car at a stop light. d t v t 0 a t 0 Driving forward d t v t 0 a t 0

7. Backing up d t v t 0 a t 0 Speeding up from a red light d t v t 0 a t 0

8. Speeding up backward d t v t 0 a t 0 Slowing down d t v t 0 a t 0

9. Slowing down backward d t v t 0 a t 0
