Time vs Distance Graphs

• After the party, Tom walked slowly all the way home

• Tom walked to the store at the end of his street, bought a newspaper, and then ran all the way back

• Tom skateboarded from his house, gradually building up speed. He slowed down to avoid some rough ground, but then speeded up again

• Tom walked slowly along the road, stopped to look at his watch, realized he was late, and then started running

• Tom ran from his home to the bus stop and waited. He realized that he had missed the bus so he walked home

• Tom skateboarded from his house, gradually building up speed. He slowed down to avoid some rough ground, but then speeded up again

• Tom left his home for a run, but he was unfit and gradually came to a stop

• Tom went out for a walk with some friends. He suddenly realized he left his wallet behind. He ran home to get it and then had to run to catch up with the others
