1. Describe in your own words how the slope of a position-time graph relates to the velocity of an object.
2. Object A has a position-time graph with a steeper positive slope than Object B. What can you conclude about the velocities of the two objects?
3. Sketch a position-time graph for an object that moves to the right at a constant velocity of 2 m/s for 5 seconds, then stops for 3 seconds.
