The object's position changes compared to a reference frame.
Explain why rate and speed are considered the same thing.
Both divide distance by time.
What does a horizontal line on the x axis on a speed vs time graph represent?
motionless
What does negative slope represent on a speed vs time graph?
slowing down
What does a curved line represent on a distance vs time graph?
non-constant speed (acceleration)
Describe the acceleration of the object using each section of the graph
positive, zero, positive, negative
Explain the difference between speed and acceleration.
Speed only considers the distance and object moves in a given time, which acceleration includes how quickly the speed is changing in a given time with direction
What is negative acceleration?
slowing down
What is the unit for rate?
m/s
Describe the motion of the object using the graph.
