This site contains information about motion graphs in physics. Distance
vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time graphs are two types of motion graphs.
Distance vs. Time graphs can be obtained from many situations in life such
as traveling in a car, track and field events, among other things. Distance
vs. Time graphs measures the total distance that an object travels in a
certain amount of time. The slope of the line in this type of graph represents
the average velocity of the objects .
Velocity vs. Time graphs can be obtained from many life situation including
car timing (ex. 0-60 in 5 sec.), motion detectors, and police speed guns.
Velocity vs. Time graphs measure the speed of an object at a specific time.
The slope of the line in this graph represents acceleration (positive or
negative).
