Graphs of MotionDistance/Time or Position/Time Graph:• Flat line = stopped• Sloping up = constant speed away• Sloping down = constant speed back towards start• Curved line = changing speed = accelerating

Create a Velocity Graph from a Position Graph
Create a Velocity Graph from a Position Graph
Velocity is the Slope of the Position Graph
Create a Velocity Graph from a Position Graph
(3.0, 3.5)
(0.5, 1.0)
∆x
∆t
Slope = ∆x = 3.5 - 1.0 = +1 m/s∆t 3.0 - 0.5
Create a Velocity Graph from a Position Graph
Slope = 0Velocity = 0
Create Position Graph from a Velocity GraphDoes the Velocity Graph tell you Where to Start?
Line Stays at 1 m while Velocity is ZeroHow Far Do You Go from 3 to 6 seconds?
You end up at 2.5 meter Position at 6 secondsHow Far Do You Go from 6 to 9 seconds?
You End Up Back Where You StartedWhat Does the Graph Do Next?

Area “Under” a Velocity Graph is Displacement
0.5 m/s 3 s = 1.5 m
-0.5 m/s 3 s = -1.5 m
+1.5 m -1.5 m
Area “Under” a Velocity Graph is Displacement,even when Velocity Line has a Slope
Area “Under” a Velocity Graph is Displacement,even when Velocity Line has a Slope
Area = 1/2 4s .5 m/s = 1m
Area = 1/2 2s .5 m/s = 0.5 m
Area = 4s .5 m/s = 2 m
Or, Displacement is the Average Velocity times the Time
E&P #17

2. When, if ever, is its velocity negative? (A) never (B) between t = 3 and t = 7 (C) none of these (D) between t = 0 and t = 3 (E) between t = 2 and t = 4
3. When, if ever, is its velocity positive?
(A) always (B) between t = 3 and t = 7 (C) none of these (D) between t = 0 and t = 3 (E) never
