Weekly Summary:
This week, we analyzed motion that is not constant by performing and discussing different graph shapes. We focused analyzed what the position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs look like for different situations. The key points mentioned were:
This week, we analyzed motion that is not constant by performing and discussing different graph shapes. We focused analyzed what the position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs look like for different situations. The key points mentioned were:
- Slope of an position-time graph represents velocity
- Slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration
- Given an position-time graph, we determine how the velocity changes by analyzing the slope at different points along the curve using a pen or pencil
