Back

Illustrates speed change over time

Front

Back

Definite slope, speed changes over time

Front

Speed change during a push

Back

Increases only while contact is maintained

Front

Luisa's perspective on speed change

Back

Front

Evidence supporting Daryl's view

Back

Slow-motion movie showed speed stopped increasing after hand lost contact
