Description
Can you read a motion story from a graph? This skill follows students all year.
17 problems where students interpret position-time graphs, calculate distance and displacement, find velocity from slope, and translate between graphs and motion descriptions.
**What's Covered:**
✓ Position-Time Graphs — what they show, how to read them
✓ Position vs Distance — where you are vs how far you traveled
✓ Displacement — change in position, the vector quantity
✓ Distance Traveled — total path length, always positive
✓ Velocity from Graphs — slope = velocity
✓ Describing Motion — translating graphs into words
✓ 17 review questions
✓ Answer key included
✓ Print-ready PDF
**Question Types:**
→ Graph interpretation
→ Distance and displacement calculations
→ Velocity from slope problems
**Perfect For:**
- Homework or classwork
- Motion unit core practice
- Foundation for acceleration graphs
⭐ **Pro Tip:** Students who can't read position-time graphs struggle with EVERY graph that comes later — velocity-time, force-time, energy diagrams. This worksheet builds the essential skill.
