Motion Graphs: Velocity-Time
Students will interpret and draw velocity-time graphs to describe motion and calculate displacement and acceleration.
Key Questions
- Explain how to determine both acceleration and displacement from a velocity-time graph.
- Compare the motion represented by a horizontal line versus a sloped line on a velocity-time graph.
- Design a scenario that would produce a specific shape on a velocity-time graph.
