Given information
Given:
A position-time graph.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Calculation:
The slope of a position-time graph can be used to calculate velocity. The steepest part of the slope shows that the velocity is at its highest. Small velocity is indicated by a time when the slope is not steep. The velocity of a straight horizontal line is zero.
The thing is capable of moving in both directions. The slope is first positive, thus the velocity is positive, and then the slope becomes negative, reversing the direction.
