Position, Velocity, Acceleration Graphs

What does the slope represent on a position vs. time graph?

Velocity

What does the slope represent on a velocity vs. time graph?

Acceleration

What does a flat line above the axis mean on an acceleration vs. time graph?

Constant positive acceleration

What does a straight diagonal line indicate on a position vs. time graph?

Constant velocity

What does a curved line indicate on a position vs. time graph?

Acceleration (velocity is changing)

What does a flat line above the axis mean on a velocity vs. time graph?

Constant forward velocity

What does a flat line below the axis mean on a velocity vs. time graph?

Constant backward velocity

What does a line sloping upward indicate on a velocity vs. time graph?

Accelerating forward

What does a line sloping downward indicate on a velocity vs. time graph?

Decelerating (slowing down)

What does a line at zero indicate on an acceleration vs. time graph?

No acceleration (constant velocity)

What does a flat line below the axis mean on an acceleration vs. time graph?

Constant negative acceleration

What does a negative slope mean on a position vs. time graph?

Moving backward
