Speed Graphs and Velocity Graphs

Front

Speed is

Back

distance/time

Front

Acceleration is

Back

speeding up, slowing down, and/or changing direction.

Front

Motion

Back

an object changing its position or place.

Front

This graph type is a speed vs time graph.

Back

velocity graph

Front

This graph is a

Back

velocity graph showing an object slowing down

Front

Pick the best choice that describes the graph.

• This graph is a speed graph and the object is at constant speed between 0 and 6 seconds.
• This graph is a velocity graph and the object is at constant speed between 0 and 6 seconds.
• This graph is a speed graph and the object is stationary between 0 and 6 seconds.
• This graph is a velocity graph and the object is stationary between 0 and 6 seconds.

Back

This graph is a speed graph and the object is at constant speed between 0 and 6 seconds.

Front

This graph can be described as a:

• speed graph with an object traveling at constant speed.
• speed graph with an object stopped.
• velocity graph with an object traveling at constant speed.
• velocity graph with an object stopped.

Back

velocity graph with an object traveling at constant speed.

Front

This is a

Back

speed graph with an object traveling at a constant speed.

Front

This is a

Back

velocity graph with an object traveling at a constant speed.

Front

Instantaneous speed

Back

Speed at a specific point in time.
