Describe how you walked for each of the graphs that you match. Part 2: #7 Graph: To achieve the graph given, start one meter away from the motion detector. Then, in the time span of two seconds, walk farther away from the detector to approximately 2.5 meter and land there exactly at three seconds after beginning to walk. Then, walk towards the motion detector to 1.7 meters away from it in 1.5 seconds. Finally, remain at rest at 1.7. Part 2: #10 Graph: To achieve the graph given, start at 3 meters and walk towards the monitor to 1.5 meters away from it in a period of three seconds. Stay at rest at 1.5 meters for exactly one second. Then, walk towards the monitor to the 0.5 meter marker within one second. Remain at rest for two seconds. Finally, walk back to 3 meters away from the motion detector and take three seconds to get there. …show more content…
time graph is that it determines the velocity since it is measuring the distance that someone walked over the time it took them to reach a certain point. The position of the person causes the slope to increase or decrease and the time contributes to the steepness of the line on the graphs. The slope becomes positive when one walks farther away from the motion director while the slope becomes negative when the person walks closer to the monitor. The type of motion that occurs when the slope of a position vs. time graph is zero is remaining at rest over time. If the line is completely straight, meaning it is at zero, the person is not walking, but standing still at the 0 meters marker. The type of motion that occurs when the slope of a position vs. time graph is constant is either when one stands at rest or if one travels towards or away from the monitor at the same rate. For example, someone who walks at a constant rate on a graph would travel 0.5 meters per second over four seconds. This means that the graph would increase at the same rate to the 2 meter
