Position vs. time Position vs. time graphsgraphs
A line with a positive A line with a positive slope indicates positive slope indicates positive velocity and the object velocity and the object is moving away from is moving away from the reference pointthe reference point
A line with a negative A line with a negative slope indicates negative slope indicates negative velocity and the object velocity and the object is moving towards the is moving towards the reference point.reference point.
Position vs. time Position vs. time graphsgraphs If the line is horizontal (no slope) then If the line is horizontal (no slope) then
the object is stationary (no velocity)the object is stationary (no velocity)
If the object is accelerating, If the object is accelerating, the velocity is the velocity is changingchanging
p/t graph will no longer be a p/t graph will no longer be a straight line, but will have a straight line, but will have a changing slope, resulting in a changing slope, resulting in a curve.curve.
