LEAP DAY! Leaping right back into PHYSICS!
Today:
We reviewed the displacement graph---REMEMBER to have your displacement on the Y axis and your time on the x axis. REMEMBER to label both axis (displacement in METERS and Time in SECONDS). Your graph also needs a TITLE! So the one below is missing a title!
- Slope of the line is Velocity!

Notice the graph above: from 0-1 seconds, the person has NOT changed displacement (has not moved) therefore there is NO velocity. From 1 second to 3 seconds there is constant positive velocity of 20 m/s. From 3 seconds to 4.5 seconds there is NO velocity as the person did not have any change in displacement (they are stopped). From 4.5 seconds to 6 seconds, there is constant negative velocity of 13.3 m/s. |
