Comparing Graphs of

Linear MotionLearning Goals:

I will be able to create motion-time graphs.

I will be able to interpret motion-time graphs.

Graphs We’ve Already Looked At:

• Position-Time Graphs

• Velocity-Time Graphs

Acceleration-Time Graphs

• Area under the graph represents the change in velocity of an

object.

Relationships among Linear Motion Graphs

• The graphs above are for the same motion: uniform acceleration!

Example: Creating One Graph from Another

• Use the acceleration-time graph to generate a velocity time graph.

Example: Create One Graph from Another

• Generate a position-time and acceleration-time data representing motion of

the object shown below.

• Generate position-time graphs and acceleration-time graphs.
