Graphical Analysis of Motion Worksheet

The document contains two graphs analyzing motion: 1) A velocity-time graph of a car journey showing points of acceleration, steady speed, and deceleration. It asks questions about rates of change between points. 2) A distance-time graph of a dog walking showing different motions like constant speed and changing speed. It asks about the motion and velocities between points on the graph.
