Learn to read distance vs time graphs and understand motion!

What does the distance time graph show? Speeding Up Slowing Down No Movement Constant Speed What does the distance time graph show? Speeding Up Moving, Stopping, Then Moving Again No Movement Constant Speed What does the flat horizontal line show on this graph? Speeding Up Moving, Stopping, Then Moving Again No Movement Constant Speed What happens to you at the red circle on the graph? Slowing down Constant speed You end up where you started Which graph above shows someone moving faster? A B Neither What does a flat horizontal line on a distance vs time graph mean? Constant speed Speeding up Slowing down No movement Look at the Distance-Time Graph and match the line segment to the motion of the object. O-A Moving away at a slow constant speed. A-B Stopped B-C Moving away at a fast constant speed. C-D Returning to starting point at a fast constant speed.
