This study guide on motion covers some key vocabulary and terms to describe motion: displacement vs. distance, acceleration, speed vs. velocity, and instantaneous vs. average. It includes graphs showing distance vs. time, velocity vs....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore instantaneous velocity and how to calculate it. They also learn how interpret and create position vs time graphs.

An illustrated example of a speed-time graph plotted with speed on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis.

In this part of a physics lesson, examine how the actual slope value of any straight line on a velocity-time graph is the acceleration of the object.

Find the displacement of an object just by looking at the velocity vs. time graph. This graph will have at least one negative region and one positive region.
