Lab 2

1) When the slope is postive in the position-time graph that means that the object is moving forward, when the slope is 0 that means that the object is not moving at all, and when the slope is negative that means the the object is moving backwards or in a negative direction. When the line crosses the x axis it means that it is going further behind then where it started. No it did not because you could not go behind the motion detector.
 * **1) For Position-Time graphs... ****Describe in detail the type of motion that takes place for all possible slopes (+,0,-). Also explain what physically occurs when the line crosses the x axis. Did this happen during your lab investigation. Why or why not? **
 * =====‍**2) For Velocity-Time graphs... **=====

2) When the slope is postive in the velocity-time graph that means that the object is moving at a faster speed, when the slope is 0 that means that the object is at a constant speed, and when the slope is negative that means the the object is moving at a slower speed. When the line crosses the x axis it means that it is changing direction. Yes it did happen because we had to walk forward and backwards.
