Speed & Distance motion graphs

Carrie walked two kilometers to my house, waited for me to finish getting dressed and put my "face" on. We then went to the baseball field at the high school, another 2 km away, and watched the home team, Woodlands Eagles, finish the last hour, 5 quick innings, and win the game for State! I happily walked the whole way home on a cloud of air that we were the champions! (pay close attention to the y-axis as you choose the graph that best matches this story)

The Jonas family drove, pulling their horse-trailer from home onto the feeder road then onto the state highway for 30 minutes at a constantly increasing rate of speed to 20mph. They entered the interstate and continued to increase their speed at a steady rate so as to not alarm the horses in their trailer, to 40 mph over another 15 minutes. They continued going 40 mph for another 15 min until they arrived at the fairgrounds. (pay close attention to the y-axis as you choose the graph that best matches this story)

My grandparents drove us all the way to the flea market. It was a couple hours drive, but well worth it just to see all the neat stuff for sale and maybe even meet new people! They drove at a steady rate of 40mph the entire way! I thought we'd never get there! (pay close attention to the y-axis as you choose the graph that best matches this story)

The mockingbird flew from a lamppost towards the far oak tree at a steadily increasing speed to 10 m/s and coasted by the top fo that tree for a couple seconds at 10 m/s constant speed. Then the bird slowed down and landed on a pine tree branch sitting for around 15 seconds, always looking for food. The bird then flew at a steadily increasing speed to a berry-laden bush and stopped on its branches, eating berries.
