Mission KG6 Interpreting Velocity-Time Graphs
Mission KG6 pertains to velocity-time graphs. You must inspect a graph identify the appropriate verbal description that matches it. The mission consists of 24 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 use an understanding of the shape and slope to extract information about the motion of an object from a velocity-time graph.
