Graphing

100

This can be calculated from a position (distance)-time graph.

What is velocity?

What is speed?

What is slope?

200

On a position-time graph, this is what a straight, sloped line tells you about the motion of an object.

What is constant velocity?

300

On a position-time graph, this is what a straight, flat line tells you about the motion of an object.

What is that the object is stopped/not moving?

400

This is indicated by a curved line on a position-time graph.

What is the object is accelerating?

500

A horizontal line on a velocity time graph indicates this.
