Mission KG1: Basics of Position-Time Graphs


Mission KG1 focuses on the basic ideas associated with graphs of position vs. time. Students must relate a verbal description of a graph's slope to a verbal description of the motion. The mission consists of 30 questions organized into 8 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
 

Learning Outcomes

  • The student should be able to identify the physical significance of the slope for a position-time graph.
  • The student should be able to match a verbal description of a given motion to the corresponding shape of a position-time graph.
