Position vs time graphs
Explore position vs. time graphs of objects at rest in this insightful guide. Understand how to interpret these graphs to analyze motion scenarios where the object remains stationary. Learn the key features and characteristics of graphs representing stationary objects to enhance your understanding of graphing motion in physics.

Position vs time graphs Of an object at rest
Describe what the object is doing at 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.? 5 m 4 m position At 1 seconds the object is located 4 meters from the origin 3 m 2 m 1 m 0 m 4 s 2 s 3 s 5 s 0 s 1 s time
Describe what the object is doing at 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds etc.? 5 m 4 m position At 2 seconds the object is located 4 meters from the origin 3 m 2 m 1 m 0 m 4 s 2 s 3 s 5 s 0 s 1 s time
Describe what the object is doing at 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds etc.? 5 m From 0 to 5 seconds the object is located 4 meters from the origin 4 m position 3 m 2 m 1 m 0 m 4 s 2 s 3 s 5 s 0 s 1 s time
If an object is staying in the same position for a time interval than its at rest. stopped. not moving. still. Represented by a horizontal line on a position vs time graph
Number your whiteboards from 1 to 3 and answer the question about the graphs Quiz tourself
1) When and where is the object at rest? 10m 8 m position 6 m 4 m 2 m 0 m 4 s 2 s 3 s 5 s 0 s 1 s time
2) When and where is the object not moving? 5 m 4 m position 3 m 2 m 1 m 0 m 8 s 4 s 6 s 10 s 0 s 2 s time
3) When and where is the object still? +3 m +2 m position +1 m 0m -1 m -2 m 20 s 10 s 15 s 25 s 0 s 5 s time
* Answers
1) When and where is the object at rest? 10 m From 2 to 4 seconds the object is located 6 meters from the origin 8 m position 6 m 4 m 2 m 0 m 4 s 2 s 3 s 5 s 0 s 1 s time
2) When and where is the object not moving? From 0 to 4 seconds the object is not moving at 4 meters away 5 m 4 m From 8 to 10 seconds the object is not moving at 3 meters away position 3 m 2 m 1 m 0 m 8 s 4 s 6 s 10 s 0 s 2 s time
3) When and where is the object still? +3 m From 15 to 25 seconds the object is located -1 meters from the origin +2 m position +1 m 0m -1 m -2 m 20 s 10 s 15 s 25 s 0 s 5 s time
* How did you do?
What would a position- vs- time graph look like of your desk as measured from the chalkboard -for the entire class period? How would your graph be similar, different from your classmates?
