Preliminary Questions

1. Think about the changes in motion the ball will undergo as it travels straight up and down. Make a sketch of a position versus time graph. Describe in words what parts of the graph is showing.

2. Make a sketch of the velocity versus time graph. Describe in words what parts of the graph is showing.

3. Make a sketch of the acceleration versus time graph. Describe in words what parts of the graph is showing.

4. On each of the three graphs, write the equation that describes the graph.
The equations are written in terms of the graph variables as:  x =...  v =...  a =...  as functions of time and acceleration)
