During the second part of unit 2, we expanded on the idea of kinematics. We analyzed graphs and tried to replicate them using a motion sensor. We found out the differences between a velocity vs time graph and a distance vs time graph and how to read and pick out the information we needed to know from a vt graph, like distance and slope, even though the way it looked and the way we found it were so different. Instead of drawing a diagonal line to represent slope like we did before, a straight line is drawn at the slope number itself (if it is constant) and moves either down or up accordingly if changed.
Breana, that was a concept i had trouble grasping when we first learned it. that though they may be graphing the same motion, d/t graph's slope will be diagonal while the v/t graph's slope will be horizontal. Thank you for explaining it in an easy way to understand!
