Lesson 3 focuses on the use of position vs. time graphs to describe motion. As we will learn, the specific features of the motion of objects are demonstrated by the shape and the slope of the lines on a …

Motion can be represented by a position-time graph, which plots position relative to the starting point on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The slope of a position-time graph represents velocity.

Adjust the Initial Position and the shape of the Velocity vs. Time graph by sliding the points up or down. Watch how the graphs of Position vs. Time and Acceleration vs. Time change as they adjust to …

The graph of position versus time in Figure 2.13 is a curve rather than a straight line. The slope of the curve becomes steeper as time progresses, showing that the velocity is increasing over time.

Learn how to interpret the motion of an object represented on a position vs. time graph.

David explains how to read a position vs. time graph. He then explains how to use the graph to determine the following quantities: displacement, distance, average velocity, average speed,...

A position-time graph illustrates an object's position over time, with the y-axis representing position and the x-axis representing time. The slope of the graph indicates the object's velocity.

In these graphs, the vertical axis represents the position of the object while the horizontal axis represents the time elapsed: the dependent variable, position, depends on the independent variable, …

Nov 1, 2025 · In this type of graph, the y-axis represents position relative to the starting point, and the x-axis represents time. A position-time graph shows how far an object has traveled from its starting …

Mar 15, 2025 · Motion graphs, also known as kinematic curves, are a common way to diagram the motion of objects in physics. The three graphs of motion a high school physics student needs to …
