The dashed line shows a greater acceleration.Click on the sheet in which you created the chart. Both lines reach the same top speed, but the solid one takes longer. Interpret the Graph Below: Both the dashed and solid line show increasing speed. Interpret the Graph Below: This graph shows decreasing speed. Interpret the Graph Below: This graph shows increasing speed. A straight line does not mean that the object is not moving! Speed A straight horizontal line on the speed-time graph means that speed is constant. Speed or velocity is plotted on the Y-axis. Be sure to read the labels!!! Time is plotted on the X-axis. Interpret the Graph Below: Speed- Time graphs look much like Distance- Time graphs. In the third part, the object is again moving with constant velocity. In the second part of the graph, the object is at rest (not moving). Interpret the Graph Below: In the first part of the graph, the object is moving with constant velocity.

This shows an increase in speed, since the line is getting steeper: In other words, In a given, the distance the object moves is change (getting larger). Interpret the Graph Below: The line on this graph is curving upwards. Both lines are straight, so both speeds are constant Interpret the Graph Below: A steeper line indicates a larger distance moved in a given time. Interpret the Graph Below: Just like the previous graph, this graph shows an object moving with constant velocity. Constant speed is shown by straight lines on a graph SPEED does not change! Interpret the Graph Below: Time is increasing to the right, and distance is increasing constantly with time. Interpret the Graph Below: Time is increasing to the right, but distance does not change. Distance is plotted on the Y- axis (side of the graph) the higher up the graph, the further from the start. The further to the right on the axis, the longer the time from the start.

Interpret the Graph Below: Time is always plotted on the X-axis (bottom of the graph). Acceleration tells: us the rate in which speed or direction changes.Velocity tells: the speed and direction of moving object.Speed tells: us the rate at which an object moves.Motion is a : change in position measured by distance and time.Sometimes graphs help make the motion easier to picture, and therefore understand Describing the motion of an object is occasionally hard to do with words.
