1. Position Time Graphs
Physics

2. Graphing Uniform Motion
Motion Diagram: Shows the position of an object at a given time. This allows us to visualize what is happening. Position Time Graph: Plots time on the horizontal axis and position on the vertical axis

3. How to Read a Position Time Graph
Three types of slope: Positive slope: The position of an object is moving further from its origin in uniform motion

4. How to Read a Position Time Graph
Three types of slope: Zero slope: The position of the object no longer changes with time (stays in one spot)

5. How to Read a Position Time Graph
Three types of slope: Negative slope: The object is moving back towards its origin point

6. Lets try to interpret a position time graph-

7. -
Look at the time intervals: What are the time intervals where there is a change in the slope

8. -
Look at the time intervals: What are the time intervals where there is a change in the slope
0s – 10s
10s – 15s
15s – 40s
40s – 55s

2) Interpret what is happening at each time interval Time interval 0s – 10s : Moves 60m away from the origin 10s – 15s : Stops at 60m away for 5s 15s – 40s 40s – 55

2) Interpret what is happening at each time interval 0s – 10s : Moves 60m away from the origin 10s – 15s : Stops at 60m away for 5s 15s – 40s : Moves back towards the origin then passed it by 40m 40s – 55 : turns back towards the origin then Arrives back at the origin
