Consider the time vs. position plots of an object in the graph below: Q: During which interval is the object moving forward with a constant velocity? Over which interval is the object accelerating, sitting still, and moving opposite to the initial direction of motion? A: We begin by designating the vertical direction as being theContinue reading “AP PHYSICS: Graph-Slope Interpretation”

AP PHYSICS: Graph-Slope Interpretation
Consider the following graph: If we allow the ( y1 ) and ( x1 ) coordinates of the slope formula to be zero, a predictable slope begins to emerge as we move to the right. A steeper slope would necessitate a greater change in y-values relative to corresponding changes in x-values. Likewise, a less steepContinue reading “AP PHYSICS: Graph-Slope Interpretation”
