OBJECTIVES
 Understand an objects position relative to a reference
point.
 Determine the direction of a moving object.
 Calculate the speed of an object using the speed formula
(v= d/t)
 Create and interpret a speed vs. position graph
 Explain the difference between speed and velocity
 Determine acceleration by graphical means or
mathematically using the formula (a= v2-v1/t)
 Analyze position vs. time and speed vs. time graphs to
explain the change in motion of an object in terms of
acceleration and deceleration
 Explain how a change of direction is acceleration
 Explain the role of acceleration in describing curved
motion and objects in free fall.
 Explain the relationship among speed, velocity, and
acceleration
 Construct and analyze graphs of motion.
 Recognize and explain how the slope of a line describes
the motion of an object
 Understand how graphs show the relationships between
variables by analyzing and constructing graphs of
position vs. time and speed vs. time.
