use the description of motion (in words) to make a sketch on the position vs. Time (x vs.t) graphs below each description. Then use the description and the position vs. time graph you just made to make a sketch on the Veolicty vs. Time (v vs. t) graphs.
1.

The object is moving away from the origin at a constant (steady) speed.

2.

Velocity vs. time graph

3.

The object is standing still.

4.

Velocity vs. time graph

5.

The object moves toward the origin at a steady speed for 10 sec, then stands still for 10 sec

6.

Velocity vs. time graph

7.

The object moves away from the origin at a steady speed for 10 sec, reverses direction and moves back toward the origin at the exact same speed.

8.

Velocity vs. time graph

For each position vs. time graph, determine the value of the velocity for each section of the graph (#9 one section, 10 and 11 have 2 sections). Then draw the velocity vs. time graphs that show the exact same motion described in the position vs. time graphs. QUANTITATIVE GRAPHS.

Moving forward is a POSTIVIE SLOPE on a Position vs. Time graph. How do you show moving forward on a Velocity vs. Time graph?

13.

The initial starting point is the Y-Intercept on a Position vs. Time graph. How do you show the initial starting point on a Velocity vs. Time graph?
