Chapter 5 notesComparing P-T graphs and V-T

graphs

Things to know about the two

P-T GRAPHS V-T GRAPHS

Also called distance time graphs

A horizontal line means… A straight, sloping line

means… The slope = velocity A negative slope means…? A non-linear slope

means…?

Time on the x-axis, velocity on the y-axis

A horizontal line means… A straight, sloping line

means… Slope = acceleration Touching the x-axis

means the object has _________

Crossing the x-axis means…?
