Interpret The Graph Below
The graph shows an object which is not moving (at
rest). The distance stays the same as time goes
by because it is not moving.

Interpret The Graph Below
The graph showsthat the objects distance
increases as time passes.The object is moving
and so it has velocity. The straight line shows
it is a constant (not changing).

The curve in the graph shows that the objects
velocity is changing as time passes. This is
acceleration.

The object moves at a constant speed a certain
distance. The object stops moving. The object
moves again at constant speed.

The graph showsthat the objects velocity does
not change as time passes. It shows constant
velocity.

accelerating. The straight line shows that it is
constant acceleration.

15
Interpret The Graph Below
The object moved in a positive direction with a
constant speed from a reference point. The
object stopped moving for a period of time The
object moved at a high speed back to its
starting position.
16

17
Interpret The Graph Below
The object moved quickly in a positive direction
from the reference point. The object stopped for
a period of time. The object continued even
faster in the positive direction, away from the
reference point.
18

19
Interpret The Graph Below
The object starts from the reference point some
time after the clock starts. The object stops
and doesnt move again.

21
Interpret The Graph Below
The object starts at a position some distance
away from the reference point. The object
moves slowly in the negative direction (towards
reference point). The object moves quickly
toward the reference point in the negative
direction.

Interpret The Graph Below
Motion starts at the reference point and is all
in the positive direction. First it is fast,
slow, stop, then medium speed away from the
reference point.
24
Interpret The Graph Below
25
Interpret The Graph Below
Motion starts in the positive direction,
slowly. Motion is in high speed in the negative
direction until the object is back at the
reference point. Then medium speed in the
positive direction.

Just like the previous graph, this graph shows
an object moving with constant velocity

Interpret The Graph Below
In the first part of the graph the object is
moving with constant velocity. In the second
part of the graph the object is at rest (not
moving). In the third part the object is again
moving with constant velocity.
