GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS SHEET #1
Distance-Time Graphs with Uniform Motion
1.
PHYSICS 2204
For each graph below:
✓ State the position for each identified point.
✓ Determine the velocity (slope) in each region of the graph.
✓ Describe the motion of the object.
Be careful of the scale and units of the graph.
Ex.
Position A: - 5.0 m
Position B: + 5.0 m
Position C: - 5.0 m
Velocity 1: + 2.5 m/s
Velocity 2: 0 m/s
Velocity 3: - 2.5 m/s
Description:
Object begins at -5.0 m, moves
to the right with uniform motion
at
2.5 m/s, stops for 4.0 s, then
moves to the left with uniform
motion at
-2.5 m/s.
