Position Time Graphs

Learning Targets

2.02A - I can interpret/draw position-time graphs in terms of the direction of motion, starting position, relative speed, and whether it shows constant velocity.
2.02B - I can interpret/draw position-time graphs with uniform acceleration.
2.03B - I can calculate the velocity or speed from a position-time graph for an object moving at constant velocity over a specified time interval.

Can you...

  • ​Describe the motion of an object including its starting position, direction of motion, relative speed, and whether it shows constant velocity or accelerated motion.
  • Draw a position-time graph from a given written description.
  • Determine the speed and/or velocity of an object (slope).

"There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end."
