Lesson: Kinematic Graphs Physics

Students will be able to

• recall which kinematic quantities correspond to the gradients of and areas under the lines of graphs of various kinematic quantities versus time,
• deduce whether a set of kinematic graphs correspond to the same motion,
• deduce from multiple kinematic graphs of the same motion of an object some properties of the motion of the object (e.g., at rest, constant speed, constant velocity, and constant acceleration),
• deduce from multiple kinematic graphs of the same motion of two objects some properties of the positions of the objects (e.g., constant separation, same start, and/or end position).
