Motion Graphs & Representations

Learn to read and create graphs that describe motion in time, and use slopes and areas to extract velocity, acceleration, and displacement.

Position–Time Graphs
Read and sketch x–t graphs, recognize shapes, and connect graph features to real motion.
Steps 1–3 free Core
Velocity–Time Graphs
Interpret v–t graphs and use them to reason about speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction.
Steps 1–3 free Core
Acceleration–Time Graphs
Understand a–t graphs and connect constant vs changing acceleration to motion stories.
Steps 1–3 free Core
Slopes & Areas: What They Mean
Use slope as “rate of change” and area under curves to extract displacement and velocity.
Steps 1–3 free Core
Interpreting Motion from Graphs
Turn graphs into a motion narrative and translate between x–t, v–t, and a–t representations.
