Math Physics y x Position vs. Time x t
Math Physics y x x t Find the Slope
Math Physics y x Dy Dx Dx Dt x t Slope = Rise / Run
Math Physics y x Dy Dx Dx Dt x t Slope = Rise / Run Slope = Dy / Dx Slope = Dx / Dt
Physics x Dx Dt t Slope = Dx/Dt = Avg. Vel …
Physics x Dx Dt t The Slope of a Position vs. Time graph is Average Velocity
Calculate the Slope Position (meters) Time (seconds)
Calculate the Slope Point One x (m) Point Two T (s)
Calculate the Slope Point One 9 m x (m) Point Two 1 m 2 s 6 s T (s)
Calculate the Slope Point One: 2s, 9m 9 m x (m) Point Two: 6s, 1m 1 m 2 s 6 s T (s)
Slope = Rise / Run Point One: 2s, 9m 9 m x (m) Point Two: 6s, 1m 1 m 2 s 6 s T (s) Slope = Dx / Dt
Slope = Rise / Run Slope = Dx / Dt Slope = (x2 - x1) / (t2 - t1) Slope = (1m - 9m) / (6s - 2s) Slope = -8m / 4s Slope = -2 m/s Why does the negative tell us?
