1. Analyze results

Figure 8.12
We can organize and present the results using
data tables and graphs. They are visual representations of the results of the experiment, useful for both recording and communicating scientific data.

We can learn a lot from motion graphs. They can tell us how far something has travelled, how fast it is moving and all the speed changes there have been.

There are three main types of graphs concerning linear motion:

- the displacement-time graph, or position-time graph.

- The velocity-time graph.

- The acceleration-time graph.
