1. Graphs of Motion Physics Ms. Allison

2. General Graphing Rules Title Label x and y axis with units - Dependent variable is on the y-axis; independent is on the x-axis. - SI unit included in parentheses Scaling Zero Origin Scatter Plot Data Interpret data

3. Title- Distance vs. Time

4. Label Axis

5. Scaling and Zero Origin

7. Scatter Plot Data

8. Interpret Data Slope of a Distance vs. Time graph represents... -Velocity In the distance vs. time graph, the diagonal line represents -A Constant Velocity

9. Interpret Data Slope of a Distance vs. Time graph represents... -Velocity In the distance vs. time graph, the diagonal line represents -A Constant Velocity

10. Review HW For each graph created for homework, go back to be sure you have all parts of a “good graph” Then compare your graphs to the answer key Ask your group or the teacher questions to clarify confusion about interpreting the graphs.

11. Interpret Data Slope of a Velocity vs. Time graph represents... -Acceleration In the velocity vs. time graph, the horizontal line represents -Zero acceleration

12. Interpret Data- Car #2 Slope of a Distance vs. Time graph represents... -Velocity In the distance vs. time graph, the curved points represents -A Changing Velocity

13. Interpret Data- Car #2 Slope of a Velocity vs. Time graph represents... -Acceleration In the velocity vs. time graph, the diagonal line represents -Constant acceleration
