Step 1 – The slope of a motion plot tells describe what kind of motion we have.
Describe each slope

   

 

 
Step 2 –Use Y axis label to identify the motion described by the slope
If the plot has: Slope Equals:
  • d or position on Y axis
  • v or speed on Y axis
  •  velocity / speed (slope=∆d/∆t = v)
  • acceleration      (slope = ∆v/∆t = a)
   
Step 1 – Slope? Step 2 – Motion?
   

  Step 1 – Slope?   Step 2 – Motion?
