1. ____________ are useful and effective tools in visually 1. ____________ are useful and effective tools in visually
presenting the motion of objects. By examining the slope of the presenting the motion of objects. By examining the slope of the
graphs, we can obtain meaningful amount of information about the graphs, we can obtain meaningful amount of information about the
objects’ motion. The 2. ____________ is the slant or angle of the line objects’ motion. The 2. ____________ is the slant or angle of the line
in the graph. The shape of the line on the graph whether straight, in the graph. The shape of the line on the graph whether straight,
curved, or steeply sloped have different interpretations with regards curved, or steeply sloped have different interpretations with regards
to the motion of the object. Position-time graphs are motion graphs to the motion of the object. Position-time graphs are motion graphs
that show a change in an object’s location over time. In this type of that show a change in an object’s location over time. In this type of
graph, 3. ____________ is always plotted on the x-axis and the 4. graph, 3. ____________ is always plotted on the x-axis and the 4.
____________ is plotted on the y-axis. When a graph is plotted in ____________ is plotted on the y-axis. When a graph is plotted in
terms of the distance travelled by the object and the time it took to terms of the distance travelled by the object and the time it took to
cover that distance, the graph can be called 5. ____________ graph. cover that distance, the graph can be called 5. ____________ graph.
On the other hand, if the graph is plotted in terms of displacement On the other hand, if the graph is plotted in terms of displacement
and time, it is called displacement-time graph. In a distance-time and time, it is called displacement-time graph. In a distance-time
graph, a horizontal straight line means that the object is at rest or 6. graph, a horizontal straight line means that the object is at rest or 6.
____________. A diagonal line that slopes upward to the right means ____________. A diagonal line that slopes upward to the right means
that the object moves at a 7. ____________. The line curving that the object moves at a 7. ____________. The line curving
upwards shows that the object is increasing in speed. The line upwards shows that the object is increasing in speed. The line
curving downwards shows that the object is decreasing in speed. In a curving downwards shows that the object is decreasing in speed. In a
speed-time graph, a straight 8. ____________ line above the x-axis speed-time graph, a straight 8. ____________ line above the x-axis
means that the speed of the object is constant. The slope of a means that the speed of the object is constant. The slope of a
distance vs. time graph represents the 9. ____________ of the object distance vs. time graph represents the 9. ____________ of the object
while the slope of the speed vs. time graph represents the 10. while the slope of the speed vs. time graph represents the 10.
____________ of the object along a straight line. ____________ of the object along a straight line.
