1. Create a distance vs. time graph including a line of best fit. 2. What is the relationship between distance and time for the physics teacher?
12 15
Pick 2 Points:
4a.) Is the physics teacher speeding up, slowing down, or moving at a constant rate? 4b.) How can you tell from the graph? 4c.) Is the teacher going forward or in reverse?
5. KEY POINT: The slope of a distance vs. time graph is equal to the______________________________.
CHECK: 6a.) What is the physics teacher's average velocity (speed) at t = 7 seconds (read the graph)? 6b.) What is the physics teachers average velocity (speed) at t = 7 seconds (calculate the slope)?
6. 6c.) Do these two numbers match your answer from #3?
7.
KEY POINT: 7a.) Use the information above and your keen skills to create a velocity (speed) vs. time graph for the confused teacher. 7b.) Calculate the slope of this graph? 7c.) The slope of a velocity (speed) vs. time graph is equal to the _____________________________.
