General Conclusions Regarding Position-Time Graphs
for Changing Speed Motion

 Objects moving with a changing velocity are represented by lines


on p-t graphs with
 a changing slope - i.e., the lines are curved.
 • The slope reveals information about the velocity of the object.
 • Speeding up (slow to fast) is represented by a line that
becomes steeper over time.
 • Slowing down or getting slower (fast to slow) is represented by a
line that become less steep (flatter) over time.
 Slopeof a distance vs. time graph
represents speed.
A flat line on a distance vs. time
graph means you are not moving.
