However, there are other important differences: Since position is a displacement from a point of origin, the slope of a position - time graph gives the ________________of the object with a direction. The graphs below represent the same trip to a video store. They show that not all distance time – graphs and corresponding position time graphs are the _______________. – The first two portions of both graphs are the same, but the last line segment slopes downward in the - graph rather than upward in the - graph. All line segments are the same ____________ and ____________ except for the negative versus positive in the last segment. More information is given in the position time graph regarding the ________________ of – the video store in relation to the reference point (home) and that the shopper has returned ______________ at the end. In general, position time graphs can have a ______________ slope while this is never – possible on a distance time graph. – Example Use the data from the graphs of the to the to calculate the “Trip Video Store” speed and velocity of the person during each of the three portions of the trip.
