Unit 2 Picture

On friday in class, we went over different graphs (potion vs time and velocity vs. time) and how they relate. A really important part of the graphs are rules. The two rules we learned are:
1. The slope of a velocity vs. time graph is acceleration.
2. The area under the "curve"of a velocity vs time graph is distance travelled.
We also went over displacement in more details. We learned that when you move a certain distance, there has to be a direction to make it a displacement, but that distance is relative to the starting point. This picture is of the kinematics worksheet we did for class to review for the test on monday.

    I think that you explained all of the things very well, but didn't we learn 3 rules?

    Yeah, we learned 3 rules, but that day we learned only 2 of them.

    Very good explanation on the graphing rules, i like how you show a picture of many different graphs to help you explain.
