Position-time graphs show how an object's position changes over time. They provide visual representations of an object's displacement and velocity.
Velocity-time graphs: Velocity-time graphs show how an object's velocity changes over time. They provide visual representations of an object's acceleration.
Slope: In the context of position-time graphs, slope represents the rate at which an object is moving. Steeper slopes indicate faster motion.
Instantaneous Position: Instantaneous position refers to the exact location of an object at a specific moment in time. It can be determined from a position-time graph by looking at a single point on the curve.
