If you were going to draw a line on a distance vs. time graph for the truck, then what would the line look like? Is the truck accelerating?
If you were going to draw a line on a distance vs. time graph for the truck, then what would the line look like? Is the truck accelerating?
Concept: Speed is the rate of change (ratio) between distance (D) and time (T).
Guiding Question: What can D/T graphs tell us about the motion of an object?
We can use graphing tools, such as Vernier Graphical Analysis, to reveal information about an object’s motion.

Vocabulary
- speed - the rate at which something moves
- slope - rate of change of a line; the steepness of a line on a graph
- velocity - speed in a direction (such as north, south, east, west)
- acceleration - speeding up, slowing down, or changing directions
- average speed - total distance traveled divided by the total time it took to travel that distance
- constant speed - When the speed of an object remains the same for a specific amount of time - it does not increase or decrease
- variable speed - Speed that changes over time
- distance - the amount of space between two things
- time - seconds, minutes, hours
- reference point - a place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion
