Distance-Time Graph
• Tells us how far an object has moved
with time, but can be in any direction.
• Can be used to calculate speed
(distance/time)
A downward
sloping line would
mean the object
is returning to
the starting
position.
Position Time Graphs
• Describes the distance in a certain
direction.
• The slope determines the velocity and
direction.
• Slope:
• Downward (\)=move backwards
• Upwards (/)=moving forwards
• Horizontal= stopped
Position Time Graphs
Examples:
Describe the motion of the object

Velocity Time Graphs
• Shows us how the speed AND direction
of a moving object changes with time.
• Slope determines if it is speeding up or
slowing down
• The y-axis determines if the object is
traveling forwards or backwards
• +=forwards
• -= backwards

1. During what time period(s) was the object speeding up?
2. Do you think the object was at rest or traveling at a
LENSES
• Label/List-Identify the title, x-
axis, y-axis, high and low points
• Equation-Are there any
relationships between distance
Position and time? Is an equation used
with these measurements?
Time Graph
• Notice – What do you notice is
happening in the graph?
• Speculate-Form a hypothesis,
about the object’s continued
motion.
• Explain/Evaluate- Explain your
hypothesis.
• Summarize-What have you
learned?
