Position-Time Graphs: Slope Calculations Video Tutorial

The Position-Time Graphs: Slope Calculations Video Tutorial discusses the meaning of slope on a position-time graph and the method of calculating it. Animations, informative graphics, a step-by-step procedure, three example problems, and two practice problems assist in explaining the meaning of slope. The video lesson answers the following questions:
  1. What is slope and how can the concept be used to extract information from a position-time graph about the motion of an object?
  2. ​How can one calculate the slope of the line on a position-time graph and determine the velocity of the object?
