  4. Interpreting Graphs • Look at what each axis represents • Describe the motion represented by each part of each line. • The steepest increasing line is the fastest motion. • Horizontal lines represent no change in position. • A decreasing line means backwards movement

  5. 70 60 Fast, steady speed. speeding up. 50 Distance (m) 40 Not moving steady speed. 30 Moving backwards 20 10 0 15 25 30 35 5 10 20 40 45 50 Time (sec)

  6. Calculating Speed on a Graph • Use the formula for speed Speed = Distance ÷ Time

  7. Calculating Speed on a Graph 2. Find the total distance from the graph. Speed = Distance ÷ Time

  8. 70 60 Fast, steady speed. speeding up. 50 Distance (m) 40 Not moving steady speed. 30 Moving backwards 20 10 0 15 25 30 35 5 10 20 40 45 50 Time (sec)

  9. Calculating Speed on a Graph 2. Find the total distance from the graph. Speed = Distance ÷ Time Speed = 70 m÷ Time

  10. Calculating Speed on a Graph 3. Find the time it took to travel that distance from the graph. Speed = Distance ÷ Time Speed = 70 m÷ Time

  11. 70 60 Fast, steady speed. speeding up. 50 Distance (m) 40 Not moving steady speed. 30 Moving backwards 20 10 0 15 25 30 35 5 10 20 40 45 50 Time (sec)

  12. Calculating Speed on a Graph 3. Find the time it took to travel that distance from the graph. Speed = Distance ÷ Time Speed = 70 m÷ 15 sec Speed = 4.7 m/sec

  13. Albert, Bob and Charlie ran the 100 meter dash. Use the graph to answer the following questions.

  14. Which runner won the race? Hint: Which line is the steepest?

  15. Which runner won the race? Hint: Which line is the steepest? • Albert 2. Which runner took a break or stopped running during the race?

  16. Which runner won the race? Hint: Which line is the steepest? • Albert 2. Which runner took a break or stopped running during the race? • Charlie

  17. 3. How long did Charlie stop?

  18. 3. How long did Charlie stop? • About 5 seconds 4. What was his speed before he stopped?

  19. 3. How long did Charlie stop? • About 5 seconds 4. What was Charlie’s speed before he stopped? • Speed = 50 m ÷ 8 sec • Speed = 6.3 m/sec

  20. 5. What was Albert’s average speed for the race?

  21. 5. What was Albert’s average speed for the race? • Speed = 100 m ÷ 12 sec • Speed = 8.3 m/sec

  22. 6. What was Bob’s average speed for the race?

  23. 6. What was Bob’s average speed for the race? • Speed = 100 m ÷ 14 sec • Speed = 7.1 m/sec

  24. 7. What was Charlie’s average speed for the race?

  25. 7. What was Charlie’s average speed for the race? • Speed = 100 m ÷ 17 sec • Speed = 5.9 m/sec

  26. Reminder: • Study vocabulary cards.
