Position V Time Graphs

A measurement of how fast an object is moving

• Velocity
• Speed
• Vector
• Acceleration

If you travel 10 miles in 5 minutes, what is your speed?

• 10 mi/min
• 15 mi/min
• 50 mi/min
• 2 mi/min

What is happening in this graph from point A to B?

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is not moving.

• The object is decelerating.

• The object is moving at a constant speed.
