The document contains a series of graphs with time on the x-axis and either distance or velocity on the y-axis. It asks questions about interpreting various features of the graphs, such as their shape, what is increasing or decreasing, and what motion they represent. The questions focus on determining information about an object's motion from reading graphs of its time-distance or time-velocity relationships.

Velocity
- 3. What is the shape of the graph? What are the axes? What might be the units? Is the object moving towards or away from the origin? Time Distance
- 4. What is the shape of the graph? What are the axes? Did the object start at the origin? Is the object moving towards or away from the origin? What do we call a change in distance over time? distance/time = ? Time Distance
- 5. What is the shape of the graph? What are the axes? Explain what is happening in the graph. Demonstrate the motion represented on the graph. Time Distance
- 6. What is the shape of the graph? What is increasing and decreasing? What is happening at B? (what is changing) What is the difference between the slope of A and C? A B C Time Distance
- 7. What are the axes? What is the shape of the graph? Where is the object starting? Explain the motion represented on the graph. Demonstrate the motion. Time Distance
- 8. Which is moving the fastest? Which is moving slowest? Which is moving towards? Which is moving away? Which one is traveling for the longest time? Time Distance
- 9. Describe the shape of the graph. What is happening at A? (what is/is not changing?) Demonstrate the motion. Compare the start position (distance) to the ending position (distance). A Time Distance
- 10. Describe the shape of the graph. What are the axes? What might be some units for the axes? Is velocity increasing or decreasing? What might make this motion? Velocity Time
- 11. What is the shape? What are the axes? What is another name for a decrease in velocity? What is another name for an increase in velocity? Velocity Time
- 12. Describe the shape? What is not changing on the graph? What is changing on the graph? Is this object stopped? Explain the velocity of the object. What might this graph be representing? Velocity Time
- 13. What is the shape of the graph? What is changing? In which direction? Would this graph be a good representation of someone stopping at a stop sign? Or pulling away from one? Velocity Time
- 14. Which graph would best represent someone driving up a mountain, then stopping, then driving down? Explain. Figure A. Figure B. Velocity Time Velocity Time
