Lesson 2.4.4

Lesson 4 — Graphical Description of Uniform Motion

Get Focused

Displacement time graphs and velocity time graphs can provide us with a lot of information about moving objects. In this we will learn what information we can find from the graphs of objects demonstrating uniform motion.

Consider the following essential questions as you complete Lesson 4:

  • What is uniform motion ?
  • What does the slope of a displacement time graph tell us ?
  • What does the slope of a velocity time graph tell us ?
  • What does the area underneath a velocity time graph tell us ?
