Blog post #4

Blog post #4
This is a picture of position vs. time graph. I chose this picture because we are learning about how objects increase their distance over a period of time. This graph relates to the Olympics lab. As each “runner” ran, hopped, and sprinted, their distance increased as time increased. Each “run” had a different distance covered in a certain time, thus creating different slopes. The slope of the sprint was much steeper than the slope of the hop. This graph also relates to the acceleration and velocity of the moving object. As the object covers more distance in less time, the acceleration increases.
